Felicity is an innovative wire artist whose work explores the fluidity and strength of metal to create unique, engaging pieces that evoke a sense of playfulness and connection. Specializing in wire weaving, wire drawings, and whimsical chook wire sculptures, she blends skilful craftsmanship with an experimental approach to materials. Her practice is deeply rooted in the use of recycled elements, breathing new life into forgotten or discarded materials, and infusing them with vibrant energy.
Wire is at the heart of Felicity’s creations, whether it’s through intricate woven textures or bold, expressive wire drawings that capture the essence of movement and life. The malleability of wire allows her to explore the delicate balance between rigidity and freedom, while the use of recycled wire introduces an eco-conscious aspect to her work. By incorporating elements like old scrap metal, wire mesh, and other repurposed materials, Felicity honours sustainability while celebrating the beauty of imperfection.
Felicity’s chook wire sculptures—often whimsical, fun, and full of character—are particularly beloved by her audience. These quirky creations evoke a sense of nostalgia and charm, inviting viewers to engage with art in a light hearted, interactive way. Through these sculptures, Felicity encourages connection, often leaving room for the audience to interpret the pieces in their own personal way. The playfulness in her sculptures serves not only as a visual delight but as a reminder of the importance of joy, creativity, and the power of shared experiences.
Her overarching goal is to create art that not only captivates the eye but also fosters a sense of community and engagement. Whether it’s through the tactile nature of her wire weavings, the intricate detail of her wire drawings, or the fun, approachable aesthetic of her sculptures, Felicity invites her audience to step into a world where art and connection go hand in hand.
