“Wool in a life”
Coming from a farming background and currently studying
fashion, I am fascinated by wool and the extreme life-cycle it undergoes. I
conducted a material investigation exploring techniques such as Nuno-Felting and creating 3D forms in felt. I used atypical elements found in
the shearing shed such as discarded wool sweepings, dirt, rusty objects and
bark as a way of forming colour and texture which speaks of the beginning of
the cycle of wool. My aim for this project was to portray the remarkableness of
wool in its processed state, as well as
the beauty in the natural and the dirty which may even compel this component to
be ‘fashion’, so continuing the cycle.
