Figurative Felt Sculptures: Expressive Portraits and Symbolic Assemblages


Lotte Hauss creates visionary scenes and mask-like figures by combining needle-felted wool with acrylic, metal leaf, organic materials, and textiles. A central element of her work, these hand-felted sculptures – often inspired by mythological or dreamlike motifs – serve as mediators between the inner world and the outer image, embodying a spiritual dialogue that is both touching and unsettling. In the series It Rained Fish in 1984, Hauss transforms wool into expressive portraits and symbolic object assemblages, blurring the lines between materiality and mysticism.
