In most art, the sense of touch is not nearly as appreciated as in creating works of cloth..
During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.
My guest today is Anna Mathis, someone who truly works with her hands. She is demonstrating one of her passions at the Barracks this week, the craft of turning raw wool into felt, that is in turn transformed into wearable or sculptural art. We talked about the processes of transformation for wool that she explores, how she works with it, and what she creates.
