"My needlework attempts to create emotional attachment to disconnective medical imagery of the body," says Willberg. "Looking upon the most hidden representations of people we love via the MRI, x-ray, or ultrasound, it is often difficult to resolve those images with our emotional connection to that person. Using traditional domestic materials, the imagery created in my needlepoint is intended to connect and intermix the sentimental attachment one feels to family heirlooms, portraiture, and ephemera, with the desire for attachment and intimacy we often experience when gazing upon the clinical image of a beloved unborn child, or a loved one’s internal structures."
