Origins

Felt balls

Potpurri trapped in felt

I originally wanted to cut right through the felt and centre to reveal the cross section however the potpurri i used was tougher than I thought and I ended up cutting slices into the surfaces. I think I liked the end result even though it was not as I intended as it gets across the original idea of 'concealed' and 'hidden from the eyes', as I wanted to emphasizes the point that the Lost Rivers were in fact lost in time after industrial plans took over to build over them.
The shape looks quite phallic, which is like a nature and organic feel which I quite like and wouldn't mind if my project ended up looking quite organic.
