Functional Fibres
During a regular trip to Grasmere earlier this year, I picked up some beautiful Herwick tops, which had been stored away all summer waiting for a flash of inspiration. A warm feeling in the pit of my stomach emerged, as I came across them during a sort through some boxes. I decided to play around with the wool using a felting needle, and see what I could come up with.
Exploring Raw Materials Pt.2
I noticed the colour of the mortar mix begin to lighten as the moisture evaporated. When the colour of the top section appeared more uniformal, I decided to unwrap the lego mould from the concrete. I was pretty nervous, but simultaneously excited to see the results. Would it be dry properly? Would it collapse or break whilst removing the mould?

I have recently been interested in exploring different materials as part of my art practice, largely inspired by others in my peer group and recent exhibitions I have attended.
