Artwork Description:   My 'floating felts' are fine, translucent, abstract textile (fiber) art pieces, using wool and other fibres (especially metallic thread or fabric), typically with uneven edges and utilising a very wide palette of colours. These pieces are framed by sandwiching between sheets of 4mm-thick clear acrylic sheet, fastened with small brass bolts and hung from nylon line slightly away from the wall, giving a feeling of floating in three dimensions. The eye of the viewer can stray on and off the piece, unconstrained by a conventional rectangular frame. Spotlights bring a vibrancy to the pictures, by reflecting off metallic, or other shiny, elements in them. ---- Again using a Middle Eastern/Moorish-inspired 'tiled' design and on the relationship theme, 'Kiss Kiss' uses a very fine, delicate version of the type of abstract textile (fiber) art design which I first used in 'Me' and 'You'. The 'tiles' are only just held together with fine gold thread - a comment on the apparent tenuousness of relationships.
