“Irene experiments with felt, the most primitive textile and takes us back to where we once were”.

Irene Infantes works with merino wool from Villanueva de la Serena and mattress wool, and with these materials, she experiments to materialize her memories. She subjects the wool to very high temperatures that make it expel the lanolin and compact it, obtaining a strong yet warm, and cozy texture.
