Juniper
Juniper was named for the wonderfully vibrant and varied greens found in forests every spring. Her beak was made using hand-embroidery over a needle felted surface to create a bit of a moss-like look and feel. Her free-form crochet covering was made from numerous yarns, most of which were re-homed from other artists and crafters. From the tips of her claws to her prominent eyes; every aspect of this mixed media and fiber art sculpture was created as she was made. Like all of Michele’s work, Juniper was designed with intentioned randomness to be utterly unique.
Size: 8.5 x 3.25 x 6
Juniper was on display in 2024 at the Arts & Culture Alliance of Knoxville, TN as part of the GoFigure: Exploring Three-Dimensional Figurative Art exhibition
Juniper is one of several of my sculptures which can be seen in person, and online, at Mountain Nest Gallery in Black Mountain, NC..
