About the Item

Felted wool from the artist's sheep, I AM THE BIRD, MY CAT IS THE WOLF was included in The Lily Too Shall Function (Nov -Dec 2023, San Francisco) at The Jones Institute included in a group art show curated by The Jones Institute Studio AHEAD. As a "painter of wool," Jessica Switzer Green's palette is 20+ different breeds of sheep wool. Considered an emerging artist at 60 years of age, Jessica's workshop studio is located in a semi-rural area of Northern California, home to sheep farmers fiber lovers and grounded in the local "fibershed" defines as a 100-mile radius from the studio's location where the wool is sourced. Artists Statement: It all started with sheep. I became entranced with the beauty of raw fleece, rarely seen in the raw, more often processed into yarns and roving to be woven, knit, dyed and processed into unrecognizable material from its original form. Felting is as close as we come to enjoying the look and feel of raw wool. The interconnection between sheep and humans has helped us weather centuries together, and I hope to honor this mutual dependency in my work.
