Maria Billings

Maria Billings, X Marks the Spot

    X Marks the Spot

    As  a non-native English speaker, I often noted the expression “X Marks the  Spot.” During the pandemic in 2020, marking the spot often referred to a  spike of sick people in a city - or of involuntary separation of family  members.


    But  the expression can also refer to pleasant memories: the spot where you  saw a loved one for the first time, the location of a wonderful meal  with friends, or in fairy tales and pirate stories: the goal of a  treasure hunt.


    I  tried to visualize these complex connotations in “X Marks the Spot.”  The silk is painted in warm colors, the hand-stitching bold and  cheerful, encouraging positive, uplifting associations to “X Marks the  Spot.”

    Material: Silk, acrylics paint, cotton yarn

    Techniques: Hand-painted, hand-stitched
