Salley Mavor: Bedtime Stitches

Salley Mavor: Bedtime Stitches

Salley Mavor: Bedtime Stitches consists of the original artwork for Mavor’s latest book, My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep around the World. The series of sculptural embroideries celebrate cultural differences and highlight the universal theme of children sleeping safe in their beds. For My Bed, author Rebecca Bond created the book’s poem and Salley Mavor illustrated accompanying scenes which bring children and their varying surroundings to life.

Each scene is made with a variety of materials, including fabric, beads, wire, and found objects, with techniques that the artist developed during her extensive career. Salley feels a great responsibility to connect with children through picture books and create their first introduction to art. Adults appreciate her labor-intensive and inventive approach to illustrating; children respond directly to the emotional impact of the imaginative world. There is something for all to experience, young and old, as we travel the world through the pages of this remarkable book.
