“Love and Hate” by Nifer Farion of NifNaks is a beautiful triptych featuring three full-sized weapons crafted from wool felt: a frag grenade, brass knuckles, and a Glock pistol. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted from merino wool without the use of foam or wire construction. NifNaks is selling this triptych to a discerning soft-weapons collector for $1,200 (contact Nifer Farion for details).
I spent hours poking at the wool, watching it shrink and deform. Then I added more wool, kept poking, watched it take on unpredictable shapes, and kept going… I was so focused on recreating these weapons as realistically as possible, I was so familiar with these objects. I was completely absorbed in observing the object of my gaze. So the sculptures are simply records of my conscious reflections on them.
