Shelmerdine
“ Nature nature, I am your bride..
Take me “
~ from Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando, 1992
Magical Icelandic landscapes transformed me once again, 6 years after the Touch Medium came alive.
Contemplation on materials that we humans extract from sheeps to perform crafty hobbies.
Manipulation of wool fibres are infinite.
Human made wool properties.
Wool Curls made to imitate human hair.
Dirty natural sheep curls -versus- Clean human manipulated sheep curls ?
Shelmerdine is the door to liberation from old structures. He is symbolic freedom and my new resilient Ecdysis Medium.
I surrender….
~ Nature nature, I am your bride..
Take me
