Artist Karen Ciaramella caught our eye today.
She uses limited materiality, which is mainly all white sheep's wool and through this she symbolises the 'Divinity' embracing all things. She pinpoints wool as a provider of protection and warmth.
We find her work really interesting as the threshold between the use of wool and a material of a similar state has been shown really well through her works. Here we have material which she has ripped and shredded to kind of create the same effect of the torn/loose sheep fleece. We are thinking this might be an important aspect for our design in terms of hanging the wool and making it stay in place. If we place strands of shredded material which has been washed in a softener we wont drain away from the rich feeling of softness.
