Feltmaking
My favourite medium is wool, and favourite technique is feltmaking, the manipulation of wool to create wall hangings, sculpture, vessels, clothing items, lights. It is the most versatile material I know. Due to its dyeing capacity it is also like painting with wool.
What I love most about feltmaking is that in entails a giving over within the process, there is a point when you don’t quite know what will happen, no matter how much you try to control it. It is the magic that happens then, the releasing of self and yet also merging with a deeper self that I love.
Art is about pushing yourself, finding your own depths and developing your skill set, finding what you want to say through your art, finding integrity with your self. Working toward an exhibition is the best way I know to do that. I joined with a group of fellow artists to put on an exhibition in 2020.
