About the Work
BLUE FELT is an installation composed of a steel mesh square, hand-dyed felt units, sewing thread, and a painted floor intervention. The steel grid establishes a rigid support and spatial boundary. Felt elements rest on and within this structure, placed without sequence, maintaining suspension rather than pattern.
The materials register different forms of resistance. Steel holds tension and alignment; felt absorbs handling, dye, and pressure. Thread functions as a binding element without closure, maintaining connection while allowing displacement. The work remains structurally open, refusing consolidation into image or symbol.
A circular field of blue gloss paint is applied directly to the gallery floor. It operates as a limit rather than a frame, marking extension and containment simultaneously. The installation unfolds through proximity and movement, withholding a single viewpoint. Duration is carried through material continuity and restrained repetition rather than narrative or representation.
