McFerran gathers plants and rocks from her home landscape and creates eco dyes on repurposed fabric. She also prints with rusted objects and assembles sculptural combinations with the elements. The works are often bound together with twine in order to connect them physically and symbolically. Culled directly from earth’s bounty, these forms remind us of our interdependence with the environment.
