With this series of works, I transform digital illustrations into tactile textile objects through a process of punch needling100% Highland wool yarn into a monk's cloth backing. The stylized pattern adorning each object is a reference to suminagashi, the Japanese ink marbling technique also used throughout the Birch Vignettes series.
As an accompanying body of work within Playing House, I reimagine fragile decorative objects that carry memories of childhood, admiration, and mischievous play. By translating ceramic forms into soft, woolen artworks, objects that were once only meant to be observed become invitations of touch, comfort, and sensory engagement.
