‘Bluebell Woodland’

£625.00

Andrea Hayes’ artwork has developed over the years parallel with her teaching and specific elements are evident in this piece – ‘Bluebell Woodland’. The painted elements have become more experimental with use of inky washes layered up onto the painted surface. The textile element embellishes and adds texture to the piece and the addition of feltmaking materials have transitioned into her work gradually over the years while she has been working with these materials so much in her teaching practice.

 

Materials: mixed media; paint, leatherette, chiffon, silk, muslin, organza, wool, nepps, metallic & rayon thread.
