Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, NYC

This exhibition curated by Susan Brown explores the varied uses of felt beginning with historic examples of felts, showcasing innovations in handmade felts, and featuring contemporary uses of industrial felt in a range of fields, including product design, fashion, architecture, and home furnishings.

Two pieces by Kathryn Walter were featured in this exhibition. A corner of the gallery was filled with a curved section of felt strips representing the FELT Striation series. Walter also created a site-specific molding designed in response to the ornate woodwork of the Georgian Manor that houses the Cooper-Hewitt Museum. 

A third piece, a wall panel of cut felt and polycarbonate, is a section of screens designed with Diller Scofidio + Renfro for their New York offices, fabricated in collaboration with E.F. Walter Inc.
