THE FRAGILE HEART - SOFT SCULPTURE
Bridget H. Gurrie (she/her) is a Naarm/Melbourne based designer and creative practitioner who explores self-reflections and experiences through conceptual textile-focused works. ‘THE FRAGILE HEART’ is a multi-textile 3-dimensional soft sculpture based on an anatomical heart. This piece originates from Bridget’s first collection ‘the pieces you left behind’.
Exploring tenderness and emotional fragility, the sculpture is hand-sewn using a variety of tactile textiles such as hand-knit, wet and needle felting, embroidered silk and hand-tacking. ‘the fragile heart’ has been made for the owner to hold, cherish and view in any way they like.
