Artwork One

Title: Connections: Andoya, Apusiajik, Boulby, Timavo, Epping Forest and Olkiluoto

Materials and Techniques: Norwegian, Cross-breed, Merino, nepps, silk thread, Angelina, chicken-wire fencing and sewing-thread. Wet felted only. 

Inspiration: For six years I have wanted to express the strong rapport I feel with Underland by Robert Macfarlane. 'Connections' fits perfectly! Can you spot mycelium, melting glaciers, microplastics and climbing ropes? The lime-green radioactive waste is not shown in these photos. Zero needle felting. Mounted on square 50cm board.
