"Transmogrify", for Bev and Adrienne, focuses on the beauty found in the environment, drawing attention to and encouraging enjoyment of their surroundings. With their work they hope to highlight the need for the conservation and protection of the environment. Their works encompass the idea of transmogrify: they begin with raw materials and through different processes transform those materials into something unexpected, different or magical.
Bev starts with fleece and goes through a process of wetting, heating, rolling and stabbing to produce an artwork. She combines varied materials such as handmade paper, cardboard and then adds stitch to result in beautiful tactile felted artworks.
Adrienne starts with wax, tree resin and powdered pigment that is boiled, burnt, gouged, doused with alcohol and set alight to result in a gloriously glossy, smooth yet tactile surface.
Both mediums lend themselves to be manipulated into surprising forms for both viewer and artist. This is part of the magic of their mediums: the thrill of the unknown and unexpected. The challenge of transforming a traditional art form into something that is both contemporary and full of surprise.
