In The Mountain Air
This needle-felted artwork depicts a majestic bear walking through a river, with water splashing around its legs. The bear’s fur is rendered in a vibrant mix of colors, including browns, blues, and purples, creating a dynamic and mystical appearance. The sky in the background is a glory of pastel hues, enhancing the surreal and dreamlike quality of the scene. The overall composition creates a striking and immersive piece. Glass and crystal beads are employed to create the effect of sparling water on this large, expressive artwork.
This piece was one of 23 felted artworks in Vicki’s three-month solo exhibition at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.
