The Body Holders series consists of three-dimensional, hollow felted forms inspired by traditional vessels once made from animal skins- such as water flasks, wine carriers, and containers used to store dairy. Through wet-felting, I build each form by hand, using layers of organic wool to create structures that are both sculptural and tactile. This process honors the material’s origin and the deep companionship embedded in ancient practices of resourcefulness, reciprocity, and care.
