Among the art works in the Wiregrass Museum of Art’s B22 exhibit is a colorful, insect-like sculpture created from felted wool.
It is known simply as “Creature 06” in artist Heather Deyling’s “Invented Hybrids” series – her collection of imagined plant- and animal-inspired creations. The first question Deyling usually gets about her felted sculptures is “What is it?”
You can register for the workshop at https://www.wiregrassmuseum.org/events/visiting-artist-workshop-felting-with-heather-deyling/ or by calling the museum at 334-794-3871. You can see Deyling’s fiber creation along with other works in the B22: Wiregrass Biennial exhibit on display at the Dothan museum until Sept. 24.
She began cutting it into shapes, attaching it to walls and even putting pieces on the floor for installations. “It just made sense,” she said. “I had taken sculpture classes as an undergraduate, but never worked with fiber material. It’s so malleable and relatively easy to manipulate.”
