Each one of his embroidered works features a nude person, often a hunter or a fisherman, performing a task that realistically shouldn't be done while naked. One nude woman is shown holding the head of a buck in one hand and a large rifle in the other. A second piece depicts a man playing basketball while wearing nothing but a baby blue baseball cap.
