Abstract art by Mary-Clare Buckleabstract fibre art sweeps away the 2-dimensional limitations of painting, replacing it with the texture, colour and vibrancy which can only be achieved with fibresabstract art which interacts with light falling on and through it - 'living' art to enhance your home |

I have developed and refined a technique of making paper-thin felted wool pieces
and sandwiching them in clear acrylic sheet.
These can then be hung slightly away from the wall, interacting with light
falling on and through them and giving an impression of the piece floating in three
dimensions - hence ‘Floating Felts’.
No longer is the eye of the viewer constrained by a rectangular frame - but can stray
onto and off the piece.

Floating Felt Gallery.
The obvious extension of this technique was to use an integral light source to backlight the pieces. This creates the dramatic effect of the lighted piece appearing to float in space, or the piece can be mounted in a lightbox - as used by Tate prize finalist, Catherine Yass. And - inspired by the uv environment of nightclubs - I am producing a range of lights which use uv-reactive fibres, lit by uv-A tubes. This produces an intense glow from the fibres, resulting in an incredibly vibrant effect. Click here to see this type of work in my Art Lights Gallery. In my range of 'conceptual' work I combine digital images with a felted wool background. The first piece, It’s Raining Men, was originally suggested by the Weather Girls song. This is the first in a series of It's Raining ... pieces - cows, money, cats & dogs, etc. I am also working on a series of ‘tourist cliché’ pieces - a London-themed piece will have images of red phone boxes, double-decker buses, beefeaters, etc. Click here to see this type of work in my Conceptual Gallery. Also in this Gallery is a range of work inspired by the decorative use of tiles in the Middle East and North Africa. Two pieces in particular - Me and You - were recently sold to a client furnishing a villa in the Algarve. Pieces like this could have any lettering, symbols or perhaps a company logo, repeated across them.
