Description
This piece was dropped off at the framers this morning and will be part of an exhibition in Bourne in July as part of The Old Town Hall Open Studio event. If you would like more information on this piece, please get in touch.
The Walled Garden Original Artwork features the iconic circular lawn surrounded by beautiful summer flowers at Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire. I spent several days there in July and August 2021 creating this piece amongst the flowers in the garden. I brought all my materials with me and mixed wool colours to create each flower that was blooming in front of me during those couple of days. The view is from the greenhouse in the centre of the walled garden back towards the wall. I was mesmerised by the planting around the circular lawn and wanted to capture it in my piece.
This was the beginning of me making places that actually exist in 2021. My usual art comes from my imagination but I did enjoy creating an actual place while I was actually at the place. More to come in 2022 I hope…
The felted piece is 53 x 43 cm and is stitched onto a piece of mountboard that is 82 x 60 cm and it is framed in a large custom wood box frame.
The last 2 photos show when I was there in July working on the original.
