For me, it is a huge risk to put out my wool and wax series. I am not sure how it is percieved. The risk of combining the mediums is one thing. The actual doing it is another. It is so different when touching wool, felting it, forming it. The wax presents a completely different feeling. In some ways it is forgiving but with wax it is a different story. I noticed the wax absorbs into the wool, this is somewhat forgiving, and yet the texture of the soft fuzzy surface is lost. The color, is still preserved , which intrigues me. If too much wax is applied, the wax will be submerged into the wax resin and buried alive. In this way, there must be a balance, a careful application of the two mediums. The benifit is the incredible texture and the wool gives a solid base for building on. One must have a good grounding or foundation for strong growth, or at least a supportive structure. Well, who am I fooling here? There is no right or wrong when creating art. Simply, this is my personal life journey. It is what I have chosen. I see anything I create as a metaphor to other things. The pain of tolerating ultimate acceptance and growth can be a challenge. I hope to get feedback on my wool and wax series as so much of my art making world lives in isolation.
