Sally Pepperell
Sally Peppered is an artist who work with felt, creating pieces that are also made from wool, cotton, silk and other plant fibres. Pepperell produces these by hand, in her studio.
With the felt fibres, she builds up blocks of colour and then adds different layers as well as details, to produce landscapes and seascapes that are based on the shapes and textures from her local scenery.
I love how the fibres have been layered, in order to create these striking effects. As the fibres are so fine, I am fascinated by how they just gently bleed together, to create that water-like appearance. Furthermore, I think that it makes the scenes look really over-dramatic because they are these clash of shades and all these intricate details, that make them look really appealing and interesting.

This scene looks really tranquil and calming to look it. The layered stitching adds texture to the piece and the blending of the different shades, captures the surface appearance of the water.
