An ongoing textile project I have been working on! You can read more in an interview I did with www.textileartist.org and see some headdresses I made using this technique
The Woodland series is an exploration in the ways that man-made materials can be formed into work that references nature, specifically moss and lichen.
​
By referencing these form, there’s an opportunity to take pause and consider these often overlooked plants that regularly appear in urban and rural settings.
​
The forms are familiar, but can be interpreted in different ways as they hover somewhere between representation and abstraction. Pieces are made intuitively, each mark serving as a reference to inform the next, using various hand-crafted, fiber art techniques such as embroidery, felting, weaving, and beading, in various layers to create a tactile and textured surface.
