Alberta's Rose
The artwork is a felted wool depiction of a vibrant pink flower with bold, rounded petals radiating from a central cluster of yellow stamens and white filaments. The flower's pink hues transition softly into white near the center, creating depth and dimension. The stem and leaves of this wild rose are crafted from shades of green wool, with some additional silk ribbon accents adding texture and detail. The background features dark, moody colors, primarily black with blue and gray wisps, giving a dramatic and contrasting backdrop that makes the flower stand out vividly. The entire composition combines soft, fibrous textures with rich color contrasts, creating a striking and tactile floral image.
This piece was one of 23 felted artworks in Vicki’s three-month solo exhibition at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.
