Our House, 2024
Handmade Felt/wet-felted 8x8x9"
I seek to evoke a sense of rootedness and connection to the earth…Our House. My felt vessel weaves together elements of earth, organic textures, and symbolism. As viewers peer through the window screen, they are invited to journey into the depths of the earth. The visual representation of a small tree with a single green leaf, and roots reaching through the screen symbolizes the enduring resilience of life, the natural world, and the promise of new growth. My hope is that this piece might serve as a visual meditation on our connection to the earth. It reminds us of our roots and the importance of staying grounded even in the midst of turmoil. Additionally, it aims to encourage a sense of hope for the future, and to inspire a renewed sense of responsibility and stewardship for our shared home. Dawn Edwards, 2024
