Frayed
'Frayed´ is a tactile wall hanging made with threads. Each individually stitched & shaped feather looks very fragile, but by layering them, it gives a feel of strength, a togetherness. They stay very light and delicate so the feathers and hanging treads create movement when walking past. A single wing symbolizes protection, safety and security, a way for people to connect and look after each other. This wing, either as bird or angel wing evokes the concept of souls shedding their wings.
