Artist vividly captures intricate, 3D felt work in unconventional mixed media project

Emphasising the beauty of detail, Hartie’s portfolio is comprised of magnified, multi-dimensional shots of felt work that reveal the “movement, vibrancy, and joyfulness” of her craft. This labour intensive process results in a truly multi-faceted, colourful example of mixed media.

Commenting on her exploration from fibre crafts into photography, Hartie said: “The photography came into play when it became apparent that the complexity…of the fiber ball could be revealed…for further expression and appreciation. The solution was to scan the ball from different angles and then digitally manipulate them. The result is dynamic and striking photographs that capture the minute details and movement of the fiber pieces, and showcase them in a new and exciting light.”

Hartie is also an award-winning author, having written two books around interior design and healthy living. Discover more at normalehmeierhartie.com or find her on Twitter @NormaHartie.
