"Fibre Fusion" by Carlene Douglass

 

Artist's statement:

"Fibre Art is my passion. I work in fine fibres mostly merino, silk and alpaca usually with two types of fibre in each article, hence the title 'Fibre Fusion'.

I am dyeing the fibre myself. I control the outcome of a project from beginning to end.

I particularly enjoy needle felting to create 'paint-like’ New Zealand scenes and icons.

I have spent time teaching fibre art to women in Mongolia, which has allowed them to earn a living. This has enabled me to appreciate the fine fibres New Zealand has to offer"
