A beautiful piece of art: "Peace Dove ? Not in My Backyard." Needle-felted wool and porcelain clay are combined to create a poetic work. Artist Gea van Eck "sees" with her hands. Through wool, emotion, and a sense of wonder, she crafts hand-felted figures in which humans and animals serve as metaphors for the world around us?exploring themes of beauty, resilience, and how we relate to one another and the world at large. The process involves days of searching, feeling, experimenting, and refining?making an emotion tangible, uncovering layers of meaning, and sparking questions. Each piece emerges from a sense of wonder, and the process is never truly finished; every figure marks the beginning of a new story. Immersed in the creative journey, the work takes shape guided by intuition and feeling. It is art shaped by hand from wool?poetic and striking in equal measure?carrying a narrative that you can truly feel. Every piece is entirely handmade, crafted with expertise, passion, and a great deal of time. The exquisite felt forms are beautifully paired with the delicate textures of porcelain. This is a work of art with a compelling story?one to which you can assign your own personal meaning. Dimensions: approx. 25 x 40 x 15 cm. Delivery time: ships in 1 to 3 business days.
