An Interview with Valérie Wartelle

'Closer Still' is a celebration of traditional craftmanship with contemporary design. This is the first large scale, solo show of textiles that have been shown at The Biscuit Factory. Fascinated by the organic qualities intrinsic to the traditional wet felting technique, Valérie works solely with natural materials such as wool, silk and linen fibres and shares over 20 beautiful original works in this remarkable exhibition. Valérie is a contemporary fine artist working with fibres and textiles. Taking the rural environment as her inspiration, she explores long-term interests of texture, colour, layering and process to create contemplative and ethereal wall hung artworks. Valérie’s primary practice is wet felting; a traditional craft technique using wool tops, hot water, soapsuds and friction to interlock the fibres together. The compositions are built in layers in which cloth is embedded, prints disguised, and threads unravelled as a painter with her brush. 'Closer Still' will be available to view and purchase from the Biscuit Factory Newcastle 2 September - 11 October 2023.
