Meghan Urback is inspired by the manipulation and tactility of materials-- what happens when cloth or paper are folded, bent or twisted-- and by patterns revealed in the biological structures of raspberries, wool fibers, and felted wool itself. A candidate in the MFA program at California College of the Arts, Urback is currently researching the relationship between contemporary Dutch textile work and the ideals put forward by the ‘designer-craftsman’ movement in 1950’s America. Her own work occupies the overlapping space between industry and the handmade.
