Beyond the farm: Holly Guertin’s “The Invitation” uses wool to explore human connection

Holly Guertin’s art explores the relationship between humans and the natural world, often using wool as her medium. Her recent work, “The Invitation”, features two life-size lamb sculptures crafted from a combination of wet and needle felting techniques. Guertin’s inspiration for the piece came from a visit to a local farm, where she witnessed the deep connection between sheep and their wool. Through “The Invitation,” Guertin invites viewers to consider whether humans have a similar relationship with the materials we use in our everyday lives.

Guertin is a contemporary fiber artist who works primarily with felt, embroidery, and crochet. Her background includes a BFA in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Currently based in the Philadelphia area, Guertin’s work has been featured in a number of galleries and publications.
