Wallworks
Plum Patchwork
Fourteen wool sweaters are given new life in this quilt of woven and felted remnants. Integrated into a singular, untidy patchwork, the pieces seem to sit at varied elevations, like buildings on a city block. Brighter stripes of fuchsia intermingle with tweedy grays and crimsons, at times merging to create the work’s namesake plum hue.

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.
