ReConnect with Nature 1
ReConnect to Nature 1,2,3 is a small series of works made during lockdown, reconnecting with animals, human and plant materials. They were made using natural materials collected or gathered, Shetland fleece to wet felt the sculptural form, my own hair which is a similar colour to the Moorit Shetland fleece to keep the tonal palette but introducing a different textile and surface effect. The seed heads of Allium Cristophii were collected from flowers I have grown in my garden during the year.
