Inseparable, From the series Testament, 16”x20”, Pigment Ink on Fiber Rag, 2014
Much like the red cellular mass in Cancer, the sculpture in this photograph is made from dyed wool roving. I spun this roving loosely into yarn, and needle felted each piece to the next, slowly building soft organic shapes. The structures are fleshy and body-like, and appear to swell into a fatty growth. I found the gold color of the wool to be quite beautiful, rich and opulent-looking. Paired with the intestinal shape of the sculpture, it introduces curious analogy.
