STATEMENT
Arriving in Australia and discovering the beautiful soft and fine merino wool, I became very inspired to start again with felting in a different way.\
Using lighter material, it gives me great pleasure to work towards a finer product than the traditional European felt.
My inspiration comes from the strong colour of the Australian bush and its fastness of the land. I feel a connection with its wide, open spaces and intense energies.
