MEGAN HENDERSON: Framed 'Rabbit Holes' (Wet Felted Art)
Frame measures 15” x 13”
When I created this piece I was thinking about all of the things vying for our attention, especially in this digital age we live in and the need to be grounded and centered in the present moment.
This piece incorporates multiple surface design components: hand painted cotton fabric, different handmade papers, and silk top all wet felted into merino wool. The rabbit has been carefully needle felted out of wool over the copper leaf moon with copper embroidered stitching.
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.
