There’s a kind of alchemy that happens when you blend natural, raw materials with water, and your own physical energy.

Much like pottery.

And like ceramics, the making of felt offers such tactical simplicity. And it’s this simplicity that drives me to explore its many and varied possibilities as a contemporary art medium.

With a background in garment construction and ceramics, felt-making became a natural coupling of the mediums I’ve explored.

Very quickly, felt became my preferred mode of artistic expression.
