One line, but how many conversations?

By  Pip Woolf 2025

Between 2010 and 2014 Woollenline was created with the help of over 1,000 people. Now in 2025 as conversations stilll reverberate I found myself wondering how one line could generate so many conversations and how actions can impact thinking.

Unlike the 300metre long line of felted wool drawn across a peat scar high in the Black Mountains of Wales, UK, this current work was made in the warmth and comfort of my studio and offers a reflection on the impact of Woollenline,  a socially engaged and durational landscape drawing.
