Raw Fleece Installation — Large-Scale Textile Sculpture

5 October 2017 · Paris

Four columns of raw fleece wrapped tightly around wooden poles, suspended against a white gallery wall at full ceiling height. The wool is unprocessed — still carrying the texture of the animal, irregular and dense, with twisted rope ties binding the bundles at intervals. Shot from below, the poles lean inward slightly, giving the installation a monumental presence that the material itself almost contradicts. Organic matter doing the work of sculpture; a craft material scaled into something architectural.
