I'm Kristin and I work in sculptural needle felting, a process of repeatedly poking barbed needles into wool to build form, texture, and dimensionality. The slow pace gives me time to watch how the work develops and whether the underlying structure has the right tension. As I add and compress layers, forms often shift or distort, and part of the process is trusting they will resolve or that unexpected detours may become useful directions.Â
Although most of my work could be best described as portraiture, I often create very sculptural pieces that make use of all three dimensions. Recently I've been working on larger, more sculptural pieces such as Yearling, Reflect, Moose, and Sprout.
