Flora and Fauna | Online Exhibition 2022

Seraphine

Wool, viscose, silk fibres and skeleton leaves.  Viscose and sari silk fibres were made into silk paper and cut into leaf shapes. These were then felted on to a patchwork of pre felts along with bought skeleton leaves. Stitching was added to give detail and vibrancy to the piece.

I was inspired by the work of the French artist Seraphine Louis, who’s story captured my imagination many years ago when I came across her work. She immediately came to mind when I saw that the theme of the exhibition was Flora and Fauna.
