<h3>
羊毛を使った繊細な作品が魅力</h3>
ニュージーランドといって一般の人がすぐに思い浮かべるのが、緑豊かな牧草地でたくさんの羊たちが草を食むのどかな田園風景。北島中央部のタウポ
に暮らすレアン・クラリーはそんな“羊の国”らしいウールアーティスト。羊毛を巧みに使い、繊細で美しい風景画を描く芸術家です。<br />
<br />
シープファーマーの夫と結婚し、羊に囲まれた暮らしをおくるようになったレアンがウールで絵を描き始めたのは1985年のこと。もともと芸術に興味を持
ち、油絵を習っていた彼女は、「ウールを使って何かできることはないだろうか」と考え、この世界でも稀なユニークなアートスタイルを確立しました。<br />
<br />
ひとくちにウールといっても、その色は白だけではありません。微妙な色の違うウールを組み合わせて作り上げた彼女の作品は、まるでセピアカラーの写真のよう。現在は、作品にあわせて羊毛のほか、モヘアやポッサムの毛もミックスしているそうです。<br />

<h3>
ストーリーを思い浮かべながら作品づくりに打ち込む</h3>
ブッシュ、丘、山々、滝、川、湖といったニュージーランドのランドスケープを描き続けるレアン。彼女の作品は次第に多くの人々に知られるようになり、国内のさまざまなアートギャラリーで企画展が開かれたり、イギリスのテレビ番組に紹介されたりもしました。<br />
<br />
一つひとつが味わい深く特別な彼女の作品は、オンラインショップで購入できますが、毎週土曜日に開催されているタウポのマーケット「アート・イン・ザ・
パーク」にも出店しているので、足を運ぶのもおすすめ。レアン本人からウールアートにまつわるさまざまな話を聞きながら好きな作品を選ぶといいでしょう。<br />
<br />
「絵筆の代わりにウールを使うのは簡単なことではないし、時には思い通りにならず、フラストレーションもたまるんですよ(笑)。でも心を落ち着けてその作
品の世界が持つストーリーを頭の中に思い浮かべながら、作業しているのは幸せな時間。ニュージーランドにいらしたら、ぜひ旅の思い出に私の作品を連れて
帰ってください」<br />
<br />
そう微笑むレアン。彼女の穏やかで優しい人柄は、それぞれの作品からも感じられます。<br />

<br />
RECENT MEDIA<br />
<br />
<br />
Over the centuries, the utilization of the paintbrush has seen not only it's triumph but also it's own demise. From the original brush strokes of Chinese Calligraphy to the invention of paint and its users such as Leonardo Da Vinci, the brush has undergone many transformations. It's initial use of direct contact with its source was challenged when Jackson Pollock began flicking his brush literally throwing that paint at his canvas. Consequently, painting as we once knew it began to evolve and more importantly, created the eradication of the paintbrush causing the development of innovative substitutions.<br />
<br />
In 1985, New Zealand resident Leanne Clarry began developing a hobby that would soon be highly praised and showcased on England's Granada TV. Leanne initially began by enrolling in an Oil Painting class, which furthered her knowledge and passion for Tonal paintings - in particular the depth, colour and perspective required. Unfortunately, that medium proved to be unsuitable for her desire to depict New Zealand Landscape and thus, initiating the foundation of 'wool painting'.<br />
<br />
It was Leanne's husband, Len and his occupation as a sheep farmer, which stimulated her initial interest in wool and its properties. The various shades of un-scoured wools led her to try using them as her paintbrush.<br />
<br />
"I began by using a white wool background and then layed coloured wool on top. No glue is used. Wool is very springy and wants to keep moving, but the texture of the wool binds it together, and it is held in place by glass and frame. The tonal colours of the wool give an effect like a sepia photograph. One needs an incredible amount of patience for it all to happen, but I have found it a very rewarding hobby."<br />
<br />
Since its creation, Leanne now combines an array of other natural fibres to illustrate her landscapes including mohair and possum fur. Furthermore, she has expanded her skills by incorporating New Zealand animals such as sheep and kiwi's to greater the paintings authenticity.<br />
<br />
After her interview with Granada TV, Leanne became known not just by her community nor her nationality but due to the uniqueness of her hobby, also internationally. 27 years later, she still has a large following with local restaurants showcasing and selling her work as well as invitations to national art fairs. Most recently, Leanne sold several pictures at Art in the Park (Taupo, NZ), which were sent to Canada, France, America and China.<br />
<br />
I (Jodie Meier) got into contact with Leanne to understand her passion further........<br />
<br />
JM: Where do you source your wool and if required, how do you treat the wool to preserve it?<br />
LC: I source my wool from Wool Stores and local farms and am also given interesting wools which I spray and store for several years so it really dries out.<br />
<br />
JM: I've noticed that you add possum fur to your pictures. Do you think you might add any other natural fibres in the future?<br />
LC: People often comment that the scenes remind them of the Bark pictures they have seen which has prompted me to sometimes use lichen create a greater effect. Other fibre like possum fur, a touch of silk, or mohair can add interest also.<br />
<br />
JM: Do you photgraph your subject before you take it back to the work room? How do you choose what your subject is/contains?<br />
LC: I often visualize what I do before I start which actually is a big help.... but I am not working with paint! The fibre has a mind of its own so a picture can end up completely different which is the fun element of what I do.<br />
<br />
JM: What is your own personal favourite as well as most popular detail to make?<br />
LC: Rural sheep and the odd scene are popular, as are ducks, swans and other birds. I try to add water, even waterfalls to my work, which can be very frustrating to do but is what appeals to people the most. Scenes of the bush with light on the tips of the wool are the base of what I do. Everyone loves the 3D effect of what I achieve.<br />
<br />
JM: Do you only do small paintings? And if so, is this by preference/supply/patience threshold? Do you find there are restrictions with the size you do?<br />
LC: Restrictions are really centered around the size of the glass needed to place over the wool seam. I typically only make small paintings due to the complexities and time required for the latter. Large scenes are more difficult due to the ongoing placement of the glass over the wool until its completion.<br />
<br />
JM: Do you work on more than one painting at a time?<br />
LC: I work on one art piece at a time. I allow one and a half hours per day for my work. This is due to the high level of intensity involved in the art form.<br />
<br />
JM: Have you been commissioned by galleries/art shows/retailers?<br />
LC: I have had many commissions in the past but now avoid them. I prefer people to make a selection from my scenes as each one is unique. It is impossible to do two the same.<br />
<br />
JM: What are some of your most recent jobs?<br />
LC: Five months ago I was asked to be an artist in residence in central Hawke's Bay for their Arts Festival. At the recent Hilton Hotel Arts Exhibition, I was the first artist to sell. I was also asked to talk to the Taupo Art Club with 'working with a limited pallet'. Pictures recently sold have gone to China, Canada, USA, Germany, England and Australia.... and many to the locals and around New Zealand. <br />
<br />
JM: Thanks very much for your time and I wish you all the luck and best for the future.<br />
<br />
Despite the most overwhelming cliche, Leanne was an absolute inspiration to meet. Pushing artistic boundaries whilst supporting local produce and agriculture, her unique hobby should be heightened further on an international scale. One of her exquisite pieces now resides in my hallway and surely after my next visit, I will return with another. Leanne's hopes for the future are to develop a web page, continuing improving her skills and inspiring others. She has been informed that recently a lady was clutching a piece of her work as she passed away. It's stories like these, that further Leanne's passion and truly illustrate the magical talent in her unique hobby. Picasso, eat your heart out.....<br />
<br />
Leanne Clarry and her wool paintings are here to dominate, question and influence the world of modern art.<br />

<br />
Leanne's interest in Wool Crafts started in 1985, when she began making Wool Pictures, albeit by accident.<br />
<br />
Being married to a sheep farmer stimulated the initial interest in wool. Leanne had three different colored fleeces carded for spinning into yarn that year, but alas they turned out not to be suitable for the task.<br />
<br />
At that time she was also having Art lessons in Oils, but trying to paint the scenery on the farm proved to be a big challenge: "I was surrounded by green hills, which I found quite disconcerting." Tonal paintings were her passion and the Art lessons had given Leanne the skill to understand depth and colour, and to use colour as perspective.<br />
<br />
The various shades of un-scoured wools led her to try using them as her paintbrush - Later adding other natural fibres, such as mohair and possum fur.<br />
<br />
"I begin by using a white wool background and then lay Colored wool on top. No glue is used. Wool is very springy and wants to keep moving, but the texture of the wool binds it together, and it is held in place by glass and frame. The tonal colours of the wool give an effect like a sepia photograph. One needs an incredible amount of patience for it all to happen, but I have found it a very rewarding hobby."<br />
<br />
Leanne's works, uniquely depit New Zealand scenes of bush, water, hills, mountains and sheep. They have featured in several New Zealand Art Galleries, and have also been showcased on England's Granada TV.<br />
