Missed Her Squiggle

DESCRIPTION

Dye transfer on acoustic felt tile, 80 x 60cm x 7mm
Limited edition of 50 prints, 2019. Ships in a box.

Mr. Squiggle was a beloved TV puppet show created in 1959 by Norman Hetherington, who voiced and operated all the show’s puppets, while his wife Margaret wrote the scripts. For each episode, children would mail in “squiggles” and Mr. Squiggle would deftly turn them into pictures of people, animals and the like by connecting lines with his pencil nose. Most were drawn upside-down because Hetherington saw the images this way while manipulating the puppet from above.

If you’re in Sydney you can avoid shipping costs by collecting the work and paying cash at my studio in Darlinghurst. Otherwise shipping will be calculated at check-out.

BACKGROUND

HOW I FELT is a series of 200 prints, each in a limited edition of 50.
All are hand-printed in Sydney using dye transfer on acoustic felt tiles.
I sign and number each print.
I love these felt tiles because they look and feel beautiful. As a bonus, they’re designed to absorb sound and improve a room’s acoustics.

FRAMING

L-pins ($10 for 4) or a hanging brace ($30) are a great way to hang my unframed prints on plaster or wooden walls. I recommend a wooden frame for brick or concrete walls. My frames are custom-built in Sydney using solid timber with natural grain. Each frame is $149. Please note that I do NOT include glass because the felt looks better naked. I can provide acrylic (not glass) and a sealed backing for $50 if the work will be hung in a moist environment like a beach house. Click here to add acrylic to your framed order.

CUSTOM WORK / COMMISSIONS

I enjoy special requests, be it for a certain product or theme, or work at a specific size. I also work with interior designers to create feature walls that visually and acoustically enhance a room.
