Silk and merino wool wet felted painting inspired by Rangitoto Island, New Zealand. 

Whispers of the Rangitoto

I handcrafted this textile landscape using premium merino wool and fine silk fibres, carefully wet felted by hand with water, olive oil-based Marseille soap, and my own hands. The silk adds a subtle shimmer across the ocean surface, creating depth and light as it moves.

This is not paint — it is fibre shaped into a seascape.
