FIBER ART

​Over the years of working with textiles, I have been intrigued by the idea of taking my small-scale hand-stitched projects to a bigger scale. I wanted to find a way to create pieces that were made of fiber and would be sculptural without the help of a supportive structure. After years of experimenting on a small scale I found my love for wool felt, which, when thick enough, can hold a shape really beautifully. Like all materials I work with, it is a natural product and ultimately biodegradable. 

JUST YOU AND ME  |  Napa Bookmine, Napa, CA

Just You and Me, 2023
Wool felt, cotton thread
6 ft h x 14 ft w x 3 in d
 
“Just You and Me” is a two-piece installation that pays tribute to the power of human connection and the beauty of shared experiences that can arise from it. Through intricate craftsmanship and tactile textures, the artwork embodies a heartfelt invitation to explore such unique bonds between individuals.
 
While the carefully chosen patterns represent the unique qualities and personalities of the individuals involved, using felted wool as my medium, I aim to convey a sense of warmth, comfort, and nostalgia, evoking the feeling of being wrapped in a cozy embrace. 

As viewers engage with “Just You and Me”, I hope they are inspired to reflect on their own relationships and cherish the moments of togetherness that enrich their lives and the intimacy and joy that can be found in the simplest of interactions.
 
Ultimately, “Just You and Me” seeks to create a serene and contemplative space within this bustling bookstore, inviting visitors to pause and reflect, reminding us all of the importance of fostering genuine connections in an increasingly fast-paced and digitally-driven world, one stitch at a time.

You can find "Just You and Me" at our beautiful local bookstore Napa Bookmine.
