Marina Nelson

Marina Nelson is a multimedia artist, based in Canada. She creates work that relates to the vulnerability of people and the connections we make through that aspect. Nelson states in her bio “in the end, or in the beginning, it’s all about love”. This particular piece is called “Sunnyside Island Sculpture”. It is exploring the feelings of happiness one would find in an island paradise. Spending a sunny morning by the sea and enjoying the environment around you. The crocheted piece is not only meant to express the feeling but also the landscape itself.

I enjoy the use of yarn and ribbons to create a beautifully woven piece. I also like how the pieces are arranged together and the way that it gives the feeling of happiness in nature. The bright colors are attached together with green and blue borders. I also really like how the more you look at it, the more you can find in it and connect with the piece.
