Last week I installed a art piece at my friends house, and I fell in love with during the process of making it …I love the ethereal quality of wool batting and how light and magical it is as a medium .. to showcase it in such a way that highlights its delicate qualities was a joy .. weaving felted strands through wire suspended between natural wood banisters, I worked in found pieces of driftwood, coral, shells and sea glass wrapped in wire … Slowly a story of the sea began to unfold …. This piece very much represents how I view the world, and my special bond with all things aquatic… It has inspired me to make smaller hoop like weavings that I call Mermaid Catchers , to help facilitate good dreams of becoming your authentic mermaid self . Because a mermaid is … happy in your skin (and scales)… able to roll with the waves of emotion you encounter , and swim with just sheer , playful joy in life , and to be able to dive deep when in deep water … A pivotal piece for me, this Mermaid’s Net.
