I love Kimberly Corday’s wool creations, not just because they look so soft to touch and hold but because of their simple appeal.
“My practice is rooted in the notion of an ideal natural world – a concept that marries the spectacle of nature and the spirit of 18th century Romantic landscape painting. Through a Frankensteinian process that borrows aspects of painting, relief sculpture, and embroidery, I create textured objects that conjure up an amalgam of natural phenomena like threadbare pelts, plumage, and patterns found in the wild. ”
One of my favorite aspects of her wool pieces is the subtleness off the dye and the left impression that the animal may of had blue fur. I read and interview of Kimberly once and remember how she stared playing with wool after seeing a wool duster at ikea. I adore how she tries to take sometime manufacturer and almost return it back to its natural roots, but not quite.
