'Samson and Goliath' by Studio Halt

“East
Beyond the yellow 
shipyard cranes, 
a blackbird whistles 
in a whin bush.”

The iconic cranes of Belfast. Shipbuilding gantry cranes situated in the shipyard of Harland & Wolff.
‘Samson and Goliath’ is created with 2d needle felting technique, using short fibre New Zealand carded wool which is felted into shape using a variety of barbed felting needles. When the needle is pushed through loose wool, the needle’s barbs catch and pull the fibres, so they tangle and bind together to create a matted felt fabric. The more the needle is ‘stabbed’ into the wool, the firmer and smaller it becomes. Colours can be mixed and blended together, and different effects can be achieved by setting down layers of the wool also. The wool is the paint. 

Judith from Studio Halt absolutely adores the colours in this! The strength of the bright yellow and red of the giant cranes against the brooding sky and the industrial buildings behind.

Dimensions: 8”x6” mount within a 10”x8” frame.
