Getting Cozy with Felt
Wed, 2012-08-15 15:05 | by Haley

After living in New York for a year, I've come to realize one of my favorite things about it is when you get to take a break and leave. Recently I did just that and took a day trip to Beacon, NY. My first (and main) stop was the Dia:Beacon. For those unfamiliar with it, the Dia:Beacon is an art collection housed in a former Nabisco printing factory. The building was absolutely amazing and the exhibitions were a delight. One of my favorite installations was that of Joseph Beuys. He had piles of felt stacked about. Walking between them, it felt almost as if the sound was sucked from your ears. I'd been thinking about felt since a friend of mine worked on a project where she created an entire room of felt. Below are some of my favorite moments with felt.
