I purchased some felt a while ago and it is another one of those materials that has been hanging around in my studio for a while, waiting to be used in some form or other. I have utilised felt prior but just on its own, pinned to the wall. This time the pink piece is pinned to the wall, but the further two green pieces adhere to each other and the larger pink one just through its materiality.
Andy Thomson and I had a further play with the felt pieces. By placing the felt lower on the wall and allowing for it to touch the ground, it instantly talked more about the expanded field of painting, the liminality between sculpture and painting. Alongside we placed some of my wooden pieces I had wrapped in wool for our drawing brief (which means of course I have crossed the line between studio work and drawing!!) and a piece I was still working on. This is a part of my practice that really interests me. Colour and form obviously, but the ability to allow different forms and materials to sit alongside each other, and not always in a harmonious manner. They communicate a feeling of temporality as well, the feeling that they could be easily transported to another space, or re-arranged in many varying forms.
