Black felt, brown felt, blue embroidery floss

This sculpture represents the memories I would share with my grandpa. When I used to visit Florida during the summer we would spend our days wandering the beach for hours looking for shark teeth together. The felt material is used to show softness and warmth, stating it was a happy memory. The brown color and the shape of the felt portrays the color of the winding vast beaches. There’s three of these brown felt pieces sewn together to create depth. blue embroidery floss represents the blue of the ocean and sky connecting all the pieces together. The black felt was sewn together in triangular shapes to portray the shark teeth that we would find. They are sewn on as a use of repetition to create a pattern.
