Tylar Merrill is a fiber artist based in Eugene Oregon, her work ranges from traditional fine arts, mask making to innovative performance art. She first discovered felting in 1984 while apprenticing with fiber artist Charlotte Charters and has since become entranced by the countless transformations of this rich and ancient textile. Learning the process of felting was a very natural and perhaps inevitable transition for her art. Tylar has always loved color and fiber. Mixing colored fibers with abstract hand strokes bring together these loves in exciting and satisfying ways. Felting has given her the opportunity to combine and explore color, texturing, 3-dimensional form, folk art and costume design. Tylar's inspiration often comes from the magical world, nature, and from experiences in her own life. Tylar's approach to felt making is intuitive, being open to the unexpected results of the medium and following this process of discovery to new applications. Conceptually, she sees her felted art work as playing with dichotomy: painting and sculpture, wet and dry, feltable and non-feltable, ancient and new, and striking interesting chords between these opposite principles. Wool is a renewable resource and a healthy component of a sustainable ecology. Ninety percent of her felt work has been created from recycled wool, in fact it was once a large tapestry commissioned for a downtown bank and then later given to the University of Oregon and hung in Lawrence Hall for over a decade.
