ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As part of the series, "Of The Earth" this piece was inspired by a trip to Iceland, known as the "land of fire and ice" because of the geological presence of active volcanoes among the glacier cover mountains. Using a wet felting process of wool, I layered thin plastic mesh between layers of 100% wool. As the wool felted and shrank, the pieces of mesh created a subtle hint of texture and highlights. This piece is framed in a floater frame which adds visual depth to the piece.

Known for a long time for my fabric sculptures, a few years ago I decided to move the focus of my sculpting from fabric to metal. I have had a lifelong love of metal art but never felt I knew enough about the challenging techniques of working with metal to move into that medium. Being an artist with a first career in engineering, learning is something I enjoy and so what better way to learn about working with metal than to work with it. I was lucky to have been given a workshop course in welding for artists as a birthday present from my husband. After that I was hooked on welding. There’s nothing more important to me than to work with my hands while learning something new. At the end of a good day in the studio is one that I’ve learned something and created something. I’ve made mistakes but they have resulted in many successes.
