Wildfire, Raine Flores-Peña

Wildfire is the first time I have used a technique called wet felting to shape the wool fibers. For me, making this piece was a debut into the diverse world of fiber arts and how they can be involved in every facet of our lives, even without our knowledge. Though subconsciously I knew fibers are flexible, I never imagined that with only soap, water, and pressure, I could make forms as dynamic as this fire scorching through the darkness of the night.
