Just About Managing to Hold it all Together

Fullers teasels (Dipsacus sativus) cut horizontally into 1cm width pieces, 'stickle bricked' together and then tied using natural, or black raffia. The teasels are very prickly and bits often broke off and impaled themselves in my fingers during the making of this work. This work is very fragile.
