Untitled wool lens

By Susan Williams 2020
The work was originally based on drapes and links to the Corona Virus pandemic. Wool is hung on nails and allowed to fall into freely shapes curves resembling elipses, the loops being free, perhaps out of control, bounding across the room and are reminiscent of lenses of different kinds. Where several lines crossed there were hot spots of optical blurring as your eyes struggled to find the right focal length on the criss-cross sections.
