“Fire and Felt,”
Kathy Hubbard
2008
•
A seven-foot high abstract
female form and a number
of hollow egg-like felted
forms.
Sculpture is made of wood
gathered from the remains
of a forest fire in the Rocky
Mountains of Colorado and
from felted wool and silk. It
speaks to the issues of
security in our world and
the joys and anguish of
motherhood.

Flauna Shelf Series
Peter Marigold
• This piece was
designed after the
designers, Wokomedia,
went to work in Sri
Lanka, and they
experienced a culture
shock. They wanted to
take a reminder of the
feeling of the flooded
environment home so
they transformed the
image of “partially
submerged trees” into
shelves.
