Inspired by a spring visit to a local farm, Guertin felted a pair of sprightly youngsters with striking detail. Pink lines their ears and noses, and their adolescent bodies are covered in tight, wavy fibers, all sculpted through a combination of wet and needle felting techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Titled &#8220;The Invitation,&#8221; the soft, fleecy work stretches approximately four feet on each side. Guertin shares with Colossal that she&#8217;s interested in the relationship between sheep and their wool and whether humans, like sheep, have something similarly tangible to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more of the artist&#8217;s work on <a href=\"https:\/\/hollyguertin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her website<\/a> and&nbsp;<a
