Kim Merrick, Wooly Goanna

Medium: Yarn around metal frame 
Art Size (Sculpture): 1000x 400 mm 

Kim is a tenacious and tactile artist whose artwork is realised through wrapping wool around sticks, metal or wooden shapes. Her fine motor skills in holding the bamboo sticks, cutting her wool to length and then carefully winding the wool along the length of the sticks takes infinite patience of which Kim has truck-loads! 
Although Kim is non-verbal, the look of pride and sheer exuberance on her face is always priceless when she sees all her artwork collated into an art piece and finally framed.
