Soft Scape | Olivia Parsonage

Olivia Parsonage, Block part of Soft Scape installation, foam, fabric, thread and paint, 40 x 30 x 48cm

Soft Scape is an inviting space of colour and texture created by a multitude of fabric scraps. These remnant pieces, often small and destined for disposal, are made important and useful by becoming part of a bigger picture.
The different patterns, textures and colours of the fabric appeal to the senses of sight and touch and interaction with the work is encouraged on the floor space, with the movable blocks.

My intention is to foster the ideas of recycling, repurposing and being creative with the materials we have around us, to make do and find new uses for old things.
