Wire & Wool

Created 2020

Pandemic and quarantine shifted focus away from the comfort of wool to incorporating new and harder materials. Wire weaving allowed my hands the rhythm of repetitive making, and the swiftness of empty forms. Considering the shift in time perception and the ideas of containment, I created “Tiny Trappings” and “Containment” series, utilizing wool elements I had made previously.
