Handmade felt, a Stone Age textile, is a compelling medium for me. The simplicity of the technique – working combed wool in hot water until the fibers lock – allows me a wide range of possibilities in form, surface texture, and color. The focus of much of my work is light: how it plays on the surface of water, butterfly wings, even an Icelandic sky. My favorite artist’s quote is Robert Motherwell’s “The function of the artist is to express reality as felt.” I have enjoyed doing just that.
