Few mottos in this collection pair recognizable scenes with the always-important text. Here, a lighthouse and seascape are depicted with long stitches that function as drawn lines. This freestyle approach creates a sense of individual style and energy. The anchor is stitched as a foreground element that lies on top of the “P.” The anchor and the capitals “P” and “S” have uneven edges that convey haste or impatience. The motto has frayed edges and several unmended tears. The motto quotes from Mark 4:39, King James Bible.
