Next Best Thing

Next Best Thing was created during the pandemic and showed at a brief moment when mask mandates were lifted. This series of felted wool sculptures were visually inviting and approachable, utilizing soft textures and playful colors. The forms were inspired by the parts of people and life we missed while adjusting our lives to conform to a new, precautionary, lifestyle. The materials used in this collection represent our new alertness to microbial safety with wool’s natural anti-bacterial traits. Everything about these pieces are meant to invite people to come in close during a time when we were living in the taboo of touch and connection for over a year, I wanted to celebrate the real connections in our life with a deeper sense of preciousness. 

Debut at Park Life, San Francisco, CA from April 14th thru May 15th, 2021 

This show was the debut of my felted works and the beginning of my ongoing Mouth Series.
