Meghan Purcell works with 100% locally-sourced woo

Meghan Purcell works with 100% locally-sourced wool from Wolf Ridge Icelandics, a sheep farm nestled just to the south of Livingston, in the heart of Paradise Valley, Montana. She feels privileged to be able to work in partnership with local farmers and a sustainable, community-minded, and environmentally responsible local farm.

“Describe your process for creating a wool hanging, beginning with inspiration to reaching the store front?”

The wool medium itself has been continually inspiring to work with. What heightens this inspiration is Paradise Valley, where I source the wool. There are a lot of artists in the West for a reason. We are continually inspired here. I like to bring my sketch book with me when I know I’ll have a moment to study the landscape. I like to take note of the changing shapes and shifting lines. I like to think about how my body and mind can feel so much ease in an often wild and unforgiving wilderness. I try to recreate that feeling along with literal gestures of subtle landscape. Often, I’ll work directly from my sketches of the places I’ve been so I can translate the unique feeling of a specific place into my work.

With my inspiration, I go on a “wool run”, a 25 minute drive down valley to visit Barb and her husband, Per, who own and operate Wolf Ridge Icelandics, which is home to over 100 sheep. I buy in bulk and will return with about eight large bags or about 20 pounds of wool at a time. I work with raw wool (unprocessed, straight off the sheep) and wool that is skirted, washed, and combed. I begin by laying down several layers of wool. When I have my desired thickness, I begin manipulating the wool for the final layer to create my intended design. When it’s all laid out, I apply soap and water and begin agitating and applying pressure to the wool, front and back. Through this process, the fibers intertwine and irreversibly lock together. Then I rinse and hang it to dry. Once it’s dry, I tack it to found wood to be hung on the wall. Depending on the size, a single piece can take anywhere from 2-15 hours. I’ll reach out to the stores to see if they need a restock and then I deliver them.

“How do you describe your personal style and design aesthetic? What are a few key principles you keep in mind?⁠”
⁠⠀
"It has taken a couple years to evolve into what is now defined as my personal style. It is organic and often minimalist and simplistic. It’s modern, yet unrefined and natural. I pay a lot of attention to maintaining visual balance in a sea of wavering organic line, raw textures, and shape. Creating unity through a rhythmic arrangement of fiber color and contrast is another main focus."

Featured #artist of the week, Meghan Purcell⁠ 🧡
⁠⠀
Through the ancient technique of wool felting, Meghan Purcell explores ideas of genuine connection, sustainability, and the integrity of the human land in an industrialized society. From sourcing wool locally, to assisting with sheep shearing and felting each piece entirely by hand, every step of the process is highly intentional. Meghan studied fine art at the⁠ Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and Montana State University - Bozeman, and earned her BFA in Art Education at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee in 2011. She lives and creates in Livingston, Montana.⁠⠀

Featuring a personal favorite from this weeks artist, Meredith Nemirov 🍂

“Piplantri” 2019

“Over the past 20 years I have been making drawings and paintings
among hundreds of aspen trees in the forests near my home in SW Colorado.
Last year I was invited to be the featured artist at the Ah Haa School for the Arts
New Year's Eve Fundraiser Gala. I had the entire gallery to fill with my paintings
and with the poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer an opportunity to collaborate
on an installation created specifically for the event.

Six years ago the residents of Piplantri in Rajasthan, India, started planting
111 trees for each girl child born. Shyam Sundar Paliwal, former village head,
started this initiative in memory of his daughter Kiran.
To ensure the financial security of the child, parents and members of the community
are responsible for the care of the trees and are required to contribute money
to an account for the girls' education. She is not allowed to marry until the age of 18.

I told Rosemerry about Piplantri, that I wanted to make 111 small drawings of the aspen trees and she immediately said, "Of course, I'll write 111 poems!"

⁠⠀
Featured in our October show, the Vocabulario series is on view for the first time. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"Vocabulario has its inception in two series called Winter Into Spring and Fall Into Winter. I drew the trees every day for two seasons and at the end of the series the drawings developed into a more abstract interpretation. All of the “glyph-like” shapes are based on the markings on the aspen tree trunks. As I painted them they started to look like unusual types of land formations. The patterns and linear elements are taken from early survey maps like the Hayden Survey of 1874. These were atlases I was familiar with from our days in the Ridgway Gallery. I used Barry Lopez’s wonderful book, Language for a New American Landscape, for the titles choosing words that were unfamiliar to me and in some way looked like the image. Using all these different reference points enlivened the process for me tying history and language to a visual interpretation of the landscape." - Meredith Nemirov ⁠⠀
