Resources, 20x6, Hand-woven; dyed; felted bamboo & soy, 2010
This is another piece from my Sustain exhibition that depicts Nature's resources...not so subtly either. Conservation remains to be the theme behind my work for now. I have been so interested in taking something that is depicted as beautiful and fragile, then transforming it into something that appears captured and uncomfortable. This concept of us trapping and suffocating Nature as en entity, has relayed itself into most of my recent works. I like the use of different techniques here to achieve my message including knitting, felting and double weave. Now it is time for move on from this concept...maybe delve into something more subtle.
