Feltmaking Technique
I first came in direct contact
with felting techniques during a trip
in 2005 to Germany and immediately
saw their potential for my artwork. I
adopted the wet method that offers a
perfect balance between skill and
happenstance to massage and fuse my
"sketches" made with colorful fluffs
and strands of semi-processed, dyed wool
into feltworks. This process allows me to pare down images
to their underlying structure and also explore them
in greater depth. The vibrant and closely intertwining
fibers help to create a terrain in which, upon
close inspection, individual strands lead through
a complex maze of surrounding fibers that shift
almost imperceptibly in response to touch and
change prominence under different lightings.
