Renee Harris – felting and embroidery
This summer, Fiberarts magazine featured the work of embroidery artist Renee Harris. Unfortunately, my subscription has lapsed, so I am now playing catch-up: using the internet to learn more about this amazing artist.
“Renee Harris combines hand-felted wool, embroidery and drawing in narrative works that reflect her training in painting, printmaking and illustration. “My feeling about the embroidery I use in my work, is that it is a true drawing tool which utilizes a needle and thread instead of a pencil. For me, embroidery is a way of expression which uses time to achieve balance.†As the oldest non-woven form of fabric-making, felting’s contemporary revival has encouraged innovative exploration. Harris describes her process. “After cleaning and dyeing the raw wool, the fibers are carded. This process stretches and loosens the wool, enabling it to felt evenly. The layered rolls of carded wool (batts) are placed onto a sheer material. With the addition of water, soap and continuous agitation, the wool hardens and fulls into felt. After the rinsing the wool felt fabric, embellishments may be added.†Harris chooses to embellish with both cotton embroidery thread and drawing.” Iowa Artisans Gallery
The newsletter for the city of Covington, Kentucky gives a bit more detail on Harris’ working process:
“Renee Harris brings the craft of embroidery to a highly artful level. She uses felt that she has made herself as the base of her embroidery. Through a variety of stitches and the use of different thicknesses of threads, Harris creates charming scenes in which birds are the most prominent figures. Lately, for further dimensional effect, Harris has been introducing elements of drawing with colored pencil or crayon on paper.Harris now often extends the embroidering into the colored paper segments.”
