Felt Collage

Felt Collage Fiber Art uses wool, plant fibers, stones and found materials, I build textured forms through wet felting, needle felting

and hand embroidery. My materials are gathered from thrift stores, estate sales, inherited collections,

eco-conscious suppliers and the land surrounding my home in Northern New Mexico. Through this process of

collecting and transformation, the materials carry traces of place and human touch.

My practice is shaped by animism, ecofeminism, and ecological attunement. I approach materials as

collaborators rather than passive supplies, allowing intuitive and responsive processes to guide the emergence

of form. Influences include the aesthetics of Catholic iconography I encountered growing up in South

Louisiana, as well as natural forms and practices that emphasize attention, care, and relationship.

Through slow, tactile processes and materially grounded forms, the work invites viewers to consider how care,

presence, and interconnectedness might shape the ways we relate to each other and the natural world.
