Artist Statement DRAW STAMP RIP PAINT FELT RUST STITCH As a fibre artist, working with different materials and techniques allows me to introduce personal experience, existing stories and emotion into my art. It is important for me to retain a sense of inevitable deterioration in my narratives and materials. My work begins with collecting wool, well loved fabrics, books and artifacts which I pair with my narratives. With my series “The Decline of the Bee” I include real bees and beeswax to give the viewer a visual and physical experience and to provoke the question “Why are the bees dying? My series "Pondering" explores the emotions and activities of our last two years during these unusual times. I continue to explore life stories with my artwork and enjoy discovering new paths of creativity. fibrerhapsody@gmail.com www.fibrerhapsody.com Facebook: Fibre Rhapsody www.edenmillsartsfestival.com |
