From her rural studio in Iceland, Hanna Dís Whitehead gathers straw and sheep’s wool from neighboring farms, cleaning and dyeing them to become felted baskets or marquetry-heavy vases. A longtime Sight Unseen favorite, it was fun to see small versions of Whitehead’s material experiments on display; here’s hoping she uses that vibrant marquetry technique — and smiley-face motif — on larger pieces in the future!
