The feltworks series continues to evolve over time and remnants from the original piece have seeded every feltwork since. Some pieces are directly repurposed, while others are offcuts and leftovers that I’ve kept and reworked across the years. Felt is mundane, accessible, and pliable. Cutting, layering, and blanket‑stitching into this material enables me to work through feelings that resist articulation, the slow repetition softening emotional knots.
