Wallworks
My Old Red Shirt 2
In turning a well-worn shirt into a work of art, this wall hanging reframes the quotidian in both subject and substance. Reclaimed wool is arranged by hand and felted to create a vibrant backdrop. The once-loved linen blouse is frozen in time with dancing arms, a celebration of joy meant to remind us of the simpler things in life.

Wallworks, in their most essential guise, are large-scale, one-of-a-kind wall hangings felted from reclaimed EILEEN FISHER clothing. The variety of materials, colors, and hand-arranged compositions renders each piece wholly unique. The size and textural quality of Wallworks make for a stunning addition to private and public spaces alike, providing visual impact and a modicum of acoustic dampening. Wallworks were first displayed in the Waste No More exhibit at Salone Internazionale del Mobile di Milano, the prestigious furniture and design trade fair.
