I'm reposting everything from my old Instagram, to keep my archive and have a record of my work's development. I'm adding commentary below the original text.

This is from 7 June 2018
The stands of the pixel mushrooms. Most of the work is in here, but you won't see it when they are finished like these. Those little tufts of moss will be wool in the next versions.

There we go - referring to the next version as being in wool instead. Which I did, and which led to my current wool and embroidery works.
I did hesitate a bit to use wool and fabric materials - they are generally considered "craft," not art. Which is weird. Why is it craft when the material shifts to something from a traditionally female field? It's also strange how easy it is to find many painters, sculptors, etc. (mostly male) throughout history, yet fabric-based art doesn’t seem to have the same level of historical recognition.
