The artwork depicts a close-up of a dandelion seed head rendered in a soft, textured style using needle-felting techniques. The dandelion's delicate seeds radiate from a dark central core, with fine white filaments and tiny black seed tips dispersed throughout. The background transitions from a deep purple at the top left to green hues at the bottom, adding depth and contrast to the light-colored dandelion. The colors blend smoothly, creating an ethereal and gentle atmosphere that highlights the fragility and beauty of the dandelion.
This piece was one of 23 felted artworks in Vicki’s three-month solo exhibition at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.
