𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝘂𝗻𝗼 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴?
Nuno Felting is the laminating of light weight material, such as silk or muslin with wool to create soft draping material that can be used to make garments, scarfs, soft furnishing and wraps of many kinds.
Nuno felted material is better suited for Australia’s climate conditions as it is softer and cooler than straight felted items.
𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿
Johnson is an Australian artist from NSW making sculptural objects and installations with salvaged broken objects, felt, beeswax, bronze and textiles. These artworks question notions of repair and its historical impetus for a return to wholeness and former utility. Johnson graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the University of Sydney and has since exhibited widely in Australia and internationally. Her practice is characterized by a tactile and poetic approach to materials, where she transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, inviting viewers to reconsider the histories and stories embedded in the objects that surround us.
