This work was the result of multiple material experiments, as part of the Cartae Open School program. The main goal was to play with opossing properties, such as rigid-and-soft, dry-and-wet using materials related to textile production.
I chose to thread naturally dyed wool through an MDF pegboard creating a soft grid. The wool is dyed using cochineal that produced a number of pinks. The second pieces is a wet felted wool rug in the shape of a puddle. Both allude to the body and how it moves in space, the objects are present as barriers, or places where one can get stucked.
