As part of the series, "Of The Earth"  this piece was inspired by the news in 2017 of the Larsen Ice Drift off of Antarctica. The ice breaks and drifts away, opening up more ocean to see.  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.

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.
