Jennifer Angelo - Nuno Scarves

 
.
My goal is to craft felted wearable art. These works provide not only warmth but also a sense of peace and comfort inspired by my five-year stay in New Zealand. I feel it is important to keep art close to the heart, which is why my works are wearable.



The ubiquitous sheep in New Zealand inspired my use of wool and silk to produce beautiful, lightweight garments using a technique called nuno felting. The sheep dotting the country’s green fields and paddocks provide a quality supply of merino fleece well suited to the creation of sturdy yet delicate garments that drape nicely and hold their shape well.




Nuno—from the Japanese word for “cloth”—is a modern take on the ancient craft of felting that involves coaxing slender wool fibers through loose silk fabric. I decided to learn more about this special process. Nuno felting offers wonderful versatility when creating deep colors and touchable textures.

Inspired by New Zealand artists, ocean waves and wildlife, my work honors the country’s natural resources and uses a technique that uses its native materials in a respectful and sustainable way.
