Some marriages are built on romance, while others are built on the shared enjoyment of overheard conversations and the occasional public argument. 

These two crows have discovered that life is far more entertaining when you have someone to share it with. They love watching people argue in public as subtly as possible, easily eavesdropping on conversations they were never meant to hear, and collecting little stories from the world around them. 

Rather than endure the inconvenience of scheduling time to meet up, they initially decided that marriage is simply the most practical arrangement. Over time, their love of catching passionate arguments led to their own passionate love. 

Marriage of Convenience is a playful celebration of companionship, curiosity, and the peculiar ways we choose to share our lives with someone else because sometimes, the greatest love story is finding the person who enjoys the same people watching and unsolicited information as you do.

An embroidered fine art piece for those who believe the best relationships are built on shared interests, mutual amusement, and a little bit of mischief.

Original art, one of one. Created with a raw edge applique technique. Hand embroidered in cotton thread with found fibers.  

This piece will be mailed stretched on bars and gallery wrapped.
