Soundbites & Textures: Walk With Me…
Since working with a variety of materials, including the concrete and raw wool, I have been really keen to explore other senses and how these not only relate to my current art practice, but could perhaps better articulate the sense of community I am attempting to articulate within my work. Using audio is something I feel strongly about, and through experience of accompanying my artwork with audio previously, I feel it enhances the work - if done correctly.
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.
A Texture Exploration
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.
