contemporary abstract textile (fiber) art by uk textile artist and feltmaker Mary-Clare Buckle
Kiss Kiss - size 72 x 72cm - Sold
Again using a Middle Eastern/Moorish-inspired 'tiled' design and on the relationship theme, Kiss Kiss uses a very fine, delicate version of the type of abstract fiber (textile) art design which I first used in Me and You. The kisses hanging in the air (air kisses?) are formed into an extra-large kiss, so the whole piece became a celebration of love, sex and relationships.
... but the 'tiles' are only just held together with fine gold thread - my comment both on the apparent tenuousness of relationships and the threads which link us together, whether as lovers or friends.
The title was originally suggested by the sexed-up Turkish pop song, which Holly Valance (where is she now?) covered for her debut No 1 single.
Note that this is part of my Conceptual Fibre Art collection, but is framed like a Floating Felt
