Raw Fleece on Wooden Post — Gallery Installation

5 October 2017 · Paris

A mass of raw sheep's fleece, bound with rope and impaled on a rough timber post, stands against a white gallery wall. The organic fibre holds its own against the parquet floor and the clean architecture of the room — unprocessed material in a processed space. Texture does the talking here: the lanolin-heavy curls catch the ambient light in a way that no finished textile could.
