The work of local artist Jane Hutchens will be on display at Art Center of the Bluegrass from Feb. 3 through March 8 with an artist’s reception from 4:30 - 6 p.m. on Feb. 7.
This solos exhibition titled “Deeply Felted” is an innovative look at Jane’s work, where she invites viewers into a world where the delicate art of needle felting meets the organic beauty of wood.
Known for her intricate, tactile creations, Jane transforms wool fibers to bring to life figures and scenes inspired by nature. Each piece is thoughtfully displayed within the natural contours of found wood and objects, blurring the lines between sculpture and environmental art.
The exhibition highlights the artist’s unique methods, showcasing the technical skill behind her needle felting process and the materials she uses - wool, wood, and even natural textures from the surrounding environment - and how they interact to form a cohesive narrative.
Jane draws from her love of both the handmade and the wild, exploring themes of growth, decay, and transformation. Through this collection, she invites viewers to slow down and engage with the natural world through a lens of creativity, craftsmanship, and unexpected beauty.
