In Dwelling With Felt Lemons, Mer explores moments of tension, care, loss, conflict, quiet, and sweetness she has experienced while in creative company with others. These moments have happened during walks, in collaborative workspaces, shared housing, and in art studios. While this series is personal (a love letter to those who have accompanied her in such moments), it is also intended as an invitation for the viewer to reflect upon creative moments as bright spots full of meaning and create a felt piece for the ongoing participatory felt board. Making this work affirmed Mer's sense that keeping creative company is crucial for our hearts, especially within the current social-political landscape. Visitors are invited to cut their own felt shapes and add to the felt board!
