MEGAN HENDERSON: Framed 'The Fear Caller' (Wet Felted Art)
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.
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.
