contemporary semi-abstract textile (fiber) art by uk textile artist and feltmaker Mary-Clare Buckle
Jack
size - 50 x 37cm - Sold
I happened to have some fibres in red, white and blue - which brought to mind the Union Jack. This semi-abstract textile (fiber) art piece was made in 2001, before the Queen's Golden Jubilee, and was in my mind because the British flag has, at last, become acceptable ... even fashionable. It also has a political dimension, in that the piece shows the flag almost unravelling - as the 'United' Kingdom could seem to be. Thus, its original working title - 'Jack Falling Apart'.
Note that this is actually part of my Conceptual Fibre Art collection, but is also included here, because it is framed like a Floating Felt.
