Monica Henry’s yarn-on-linen piece beautifully captures the You Yangs, evoking a profound sense of home and belonging. These mountains, seen upon returning from travels, stir a deep feeling of return. The work, depicting the You Yangs in spring, is a symphony of carefully placed stitches, each reflecting landscape and memory. Lush greens and earthy browns evoke boulders, while soft pinks and blues of the sunset sky bring the scene to life. The piece flows effortlessly, embodying the warmth of familiarity and the fleeting beauty of nature’s ever-changing cycles.
You Yangs in Spring was awarded First Place in the 2025 Talburac Art Prize at Hoop Gallery.
