The Story: Sound Waves 18 is part of the Sound Waves series looking at the character of lines and edges. As pieces are hung together, they not only define their differences, but also strengthen their similarities - the echo of sound waves comes to mind.

As the Covid19 pandemic settled over our lives, I needed to focus my practice on clear, distinct and practicable intentions. I decided to explore the impact of the bare line and the tear using only two materials, wool and silk, emphasised with the use of colour. Well, once I got started, it was hard to stop - as, you will have guessed, this is an endless quest....

Composition: Merino wool, silk Organza. Prefelt merino wool base layer.

Process: The traditional wet felting technique uses water, soapsuds and agitation to interlock loose fibers to form a stable and strong structure. On this series I used the resist technique - this leaves some sections of the work free from each other and hence able to separate.

Care Instructions: As with all fine art I recommend not to place the artwork in direct sunlight, extremes of temperature or high humidity. As the artwork is not protected by glass, it can be lightly brushed with a soft paintbrush to remove the dust, taking great care not to disturb the surface.
