White Pelican Sculpture | 1' W x 3' L x 1.5' D | SOLD, Custum Commissioned Work Available, Fiber Art in Door County Wisconsin

The featured contemporary fiber wall art by Wendy Carpenter, derived through borderline abstract-literal interpretations, is inspired by nature and expressed through form, color, and tactile materials. Carpenter's contemporary fiber wall art hangings capture the emotion and power of nature by abstracting the natural world. She is a mixed-media fine art artist with 50 years of experience creating fiber wall art for homes, corporations and interior designers. 

Carpenter's use of cultural icons and primitive forms delineates the content through a fiber medium that transmits its meaning to the observer. It is a long path from the concept, starting in the mind and passing through the fingers, that manipulates the fibers into a final art form! 

"White Pelican" sculpture is constructed on a natural-found cedar log armature.  The fabric is woven with wool yarn and shaped on-loom to create feather forms with bamboo incorporated as the feather spine. The 3-D fiber bird sculpture measures 3' long by 1' wide by 1.5' high. The pelican gular is constructed with handmade hemp paper, and the beak is stained with a mustard-colored milk wash pigment. It is a mixed media playful creation of the fine art of fiber!
