Artist Statement:
As a child I chased butterflies, scrambled over rocks, and read romantic tales of faraway places. Years later, I’ve studied butterflies and rocks, and traveled to many of the places—the Amazon rainforest, craggy cliffs with castle ruins, remote island beaches—and I’ve never lost the wonder of them. Yet exotic beauty can be found everywhere.
I use the ancient technique of feltmaking not to capture what I’ve seen directly, but to create something new. The simplicity of the technique—combing, layering, and working dyed unspun wool in hot water until the fibers lock—allows me to work spontaneously, and often experimentally. The shape of a piece might come from a bird’s wing, the color from crystals under a microscope, a line from the sinuous edge of a pond meeting the shore, and the texture from the bark of a birch tree. I wish to celebrate nature, not to mirror it.
