Something different from me - felting. Currently showing in Puanga Matariki exhibition at Greymouth's Left Bank Gallery.

Wall hanging: Owen 1986
Felted vessels: Father #1, Father #2, Father #3

These felted works are a tribute to my father, Owen Neutze (1925-2014). Dad worked
in shearing sheds and was very knowledgeable about wool. He had access to good
fleeces and took up spinning.

However he never got to spin all the fleeces he prepared.
I inherited many boxes of his unspun wool along with his spinning wheel. I catalogued
the wool when I got it some time ago but have not used any since 2013 when I wove
a floor rug as a wedding present for my son.

Recently I attended a Creative Fibre retreat at Ōkārito. Just before I left home, I
quickly grabbed a box of ‘Merino Blk Carded” in case I wanted to do some felting. After
observing for a day, on Sunday I was encouraged to felt a small sample.

I loved how it
turned out as well as feeling a very strong connection to my dad. I knew immediately
what I wanted to do for this exhibition.

Dad had flick carded this unwashed fleece,
sorted it by colour and placed it between layers newspaper dated January and
February 1986. Thirty five years later I have turned it into a wall hanging and three
vessels.

Still finding it hard to believe but very excited

Still finding it hard to believe but very excited and humbled to be shortlisted for the Parkin Drawing Prize 2021. My entry is "From My Garden", the collection of 17 objects "drawn" from plants growing in my garden originally installed in Westland District Library . A huge thank you to Kate Buckley for encouraging me to enter

I am loving my current project of creating work from materials from my garden... this time: strawberry runners; kniphofia; corn husks dyed with onion skins, harakeke seeds and pods, and kamahi ( Weinmannia racemosa) wood chips.

A little twined vessel with kuta - my first fibre

A little twined vessel with kuta - my first fibre creation in the twelve days I have been living on our boat "Hangarua" in Marlborough Sounds. I brought lots of dried fibre with me (without my husband seeing!) but have been too busy boating, fishing, walking, reading, ... .Thought I should at least create something before we return home. This is the first time I have twined with kuta Eleocharis sphacelata.
