This textile piece is an exploration of form, texture, and the tension between abstraction and representation. Inspired by the quiet, poised presence of a bird standing still, the work uses variations in pile height and texture to suggest the essence of this figure without directly replicating it.
The bird is not in motion but rather captured in a moment of calm, its stillness expressed through the contrasts in materiality. The varying pile heights create a tactile landscape that evokes the softness and complexity of feathers, while the shifting textures invite the viewer to experience the form in a more subtle and intimate way. Through this interplay of texture and form, the piece allows the bird’s stillness to become its primary characteristic, suggesting a sense of groundedness and quiet contemplation.
In this abstracted interpretation, I seek to convey the bird’s presence, not as a literal image, but as an emotive, tactile experience that prompts reflection on the nature of stillness and the delicate beauty found in moments of pause.
