As a feltmaker, Heidi does conceptual work as well as millinery.
“With
felt I often let the piece tell me where it wants to go, but as a
sculptor I start a piece with an idea. My pieces are balanced by
intuition, trust and thought, letting both the skill of my hands and the
nature of the material participate.”
