What Remains 2010
Hand-felted Coopworth and Merino wool
Diptych: 26” x 54” and 23” x 50”
Utilizing various media such as painting, textiles and felt, the reoccurring element of sewing is constant throughout my practice. Whether using surgical sutures or thread, the process of repairing and combining materials is crucial to the construction of meaning in the work. In What Remains thread connects different felted pieces together to create an image that is not resolved despite the attempts of reconstruction. This work relates to the healing process that produces not only physical scaring but also involves the re-conception of self.
