Nancy Nicholson - Bound Spheres
Bound Spheres, Jacob (dark brown), Suffolk (grey), Moorit (light brown) & Wensleydale
(white) wool, 7 x 7 x 7cm, 2023
These are needle felted by hand from pure and undyed wool tops to form shapes
that appear to be yielding to invisible restrictions. Each sphere is unique, and their
specific binds evolve naturally out of the process. Soft wool coaxed into hard shapes
that contain the echo of a past pillowyness.
