Serenity by the Ocean
This textile artwork uses wool, alpaca, and silk fibres woven together to capture the fluidity of water. Felted wool adds dimension to the "waves," while hand-dyed yarns in blues, greens, and sandy neutrals evoke the shoreline. The layered fabrics create movement, transforming fibre into a seascape.
