I am a fibre artist and work with natural fibre like 100% Australian merino wool, silk, flax, cotton, bamboo and mote. My wall hangings are very tactile, they invite you to touch and feel them. We are naturally drawn to the soft environments. In the preindustrial revolution times, all homes were handmade, gentle and soft. If we take a closer look to any culture, especially indigenous, and their habitats – be it Native Americans, Mongolians or any of the ‘Stan’, Nordic or Baltic nations, their walls were decorated with soft animal skins, felts or handmade drawings. Their daily home environment was gentle and soft and their whole life was closer to nature and more respectful to it. Wool as a material is fire resistant, eco renewable, biodigradable, non toxic and a natural insulator.
