"Disengaged"
8" x 10"
Hand-dyed roving wool felted into canvas

For this felted portrait of my brother (holding a flood light from below), I
mixed fabric dyes to create his skin tones, dyed roving wool, and used a felting
needle to engage it into the canvas, except for the eyes.

"Place of Punishment"

Based off Henry Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience,” I made a sign with a
standard, black representation of a figure walking towards a church and an organic,
more natural blue figure walking in the opposite direction towards a tree. They are
both trying to achieve divinity, represented by a dove at the top.
I made the sign for an English project about a year ago by spray painting
drawer liner and cutting out the images. For “Place of Punishment,” I used the sign
again to design a site for the handling of law violators. The idea of separating men
and women was also inspired by the film “Schindler’s List.”
