Inspiration: Emily Barletta

While planning my fibers/felting unit for the advanced sculpture class, I came across this image by the incredible fiber artist, Emily Barletta:

Love at first sight: this is a close-up segment from a piece called Horizon


Working with a variety of threads, fibers, and materials, her work is graphic, bold, colorful, and always interesting. She works both in 2-D and 3-D with seemingly equal proficiency. I've posted more images of her works below, but check out her online portfolio or read her blog.
