Felt Sculptures with Feeling As a fabric,felt is rich with memories of childhoods past: the softness of its surface; the gleaming palette of colors in which it came; the ease with which it could be folded and cut into a quick Halloween costume. Artist Hiné Mizushima elevates the fabric to new heights with her imaginative felt sculptures. Cute and colorful, her pieces depict a wide cast of flora and fauna from limpets and clams to beetles and Venus flytraps. The rigid anatomical rigor of each piece is balanced with a playfulness—the soft tactility of felt.Artists like Mizushima are pushing the envelope of illustration using non-traditional forms and media such as sculpture, or collage,and graphic design to repeat visual stories in exciting, innovative ways.
