A POND IS A PORTAL, A STREAM IS A LUCID DREAM Solarpunk & Lunarpunk Art
date: January 2026
Relax on a fluffy tufted surface, lay your head in a plume of pompoms, squishy like moss. Follow with your toes the rippling, sculpted sand into plushy streams of water, pooling at places of self reflection and refraction. Sparkling back your inner cuddle cub, as fingers find longer woolen grasses to curl up cozy in place and space. Our body knows that the divinely delicate is in the details, and the intuitively crafted landscape holds a spell embroidered into her underbelly : A Pond is a Portal, A Stream is a Lucid Dream.
A self tufted Solarpunk project is to reduce the unnecessary waste of extra yarn. Those left over spools left in a corner, random basket or closet are the raw material to create abstract landscapes of winding looped stream motifs, fluffy beaches, squishy moss and ticklish grasses. Creating almost any size up to a maximum of 120cm / 47 inches by 155cm/ 61 inches, in a variation of colors, textures and styles, all from yarns gifted & thrifted.
If you so desire a tactile art object, such as a custom carpet to be felt between your toes or hung like a tapestry, please contact me. You may be required to to send your left over yarns as an offering, or I will trawl the internets for something of similar salvage to create a tufted horizon paradise, at the rate of hourly increments.
Hand & machine assembled textile artwork with various colored yarns.
Medium: wool, polyester, cotton and other various recycled yarns
