This is a mixed-media abstract by Carol Salome measuring 48” square, from the Collection of Pattye Whisman, M.D. Late 1980’s-early 1990’s.

Accompanying the larger work are the original 6 framed renderings. Each rendering collectively were the inspirations for the ultimate creation of the larger work. Each rendering is unique and measures between 5.5” and 7” square or rectangle. All are floating in a glass and silver metal frame measuring 14”x14”. They are the companion pieces for the larger commission mixed media abstract measuring 48” square.

The combination of these elements creates a cohesive body of work that invites viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels.

Carol Salome's work from the late 1980s-early 1990s reflects this spirit of experimentation, combining various materials to create visually striking abstract compositions. The use of both large-scale mixed media pieces and smaller companion renderings suggests a deliberate artistic process, where the artist explores different facets of a central theme or concept.

Mixed media art gained prominence in the 20th century as artists sought to break away from traditional artistic boundaries. By incorporating diverse materials such as textiles, wood, and found objects, artists created complex and multi-layered artworks that challenged conventional notions of painting and sculpture. This approach allowed for greater experimentation and innovation, leading to the development of unique artistic styles and techniques.

These two are strutting off into the deep blue night with all the confidence of that glowing full moon.

Wet felted merino wool in varying shades of blue with kozo paper and silk. This duo has been painstakingly needle felted to look like they are coming right out of a storybook. Metallic silver foil and ink add the final touches to this magical piece.

All of Megan's work begins with the ancient skill, wet felting. This process uses loose wool roving, water and friction from the artist's hands to create an almost alchemical process that transforms the raw materials into a cohesive piece of fabric. Other materials are often combined to achieve a piece rich in color, texture and storytelling. Megan goes back into each piece multiple times to add detail through needle felting and a combination of other mediums such as embroidery, water soluble pastel, ink and metallic leaf. This modern, fine art approach to an ancient fiber craft results in unique, heirloom quality pieces inspired by myth, folklore, nature and archetypal imagery.

Frame measures 20.5” × 18.5”

There is a story in American Indian folklore, The Rabbit and Eye Walker, in which Rabbit gets the name Fear Caller. Living in fear, worrying about the what-if’s, creating its reality from the fear it is so hoping to avoid. The story reminds us to live in the present, rooted in what is. Here we see Rabbit beginning to peek out at its surroundings, confronting the fears. The moon represents our ability to stay centered and see more clearly. Letting go of the fears and what ifs.

This wall hanging has been wet felted from fine merino wool with both silk and cotton fabric as well as kozo paper. The rabbit was created through the process of needle felting with wool. Metallic foil, and silk paints provide other details.

When we are willing to look at our own shadow, fear, and pain, we can begin to heal and shed the patterns of what no longer serves us. We can step into our power and let our mistakes grow into wisdom.

Wool, mulberry paper and silk are wet felted together to create a mixed media piece with watercolor and silver leafing. Needle felting is used to add more detail and depth.
