The last weeks of 2010 were a whirlwind of working. I've been meaning to post all the works bit by bit, and here's the first. This is one I've been working on for quite some time, and I greatly underestimated how much work it would be. It's a Woolen City: wearable wire wrapped in grey wool yarn. After constructing the armature, I built up pyramids, domes, towers, skyscrapers, caves and arches. Each bit of wire was then wrapped in grey wool yarn, creating a slightly fuzzy line drawing of architecture. It's a wearable urban structure that has just a bit of coziness from the yarn, and the citizen wearing it can feel the scale of a city/citizen relationship shift.
