Olfactory Nostalgia with Chandler McLellan
MYRRH
At In Fiore, we believe the skin is a sense organ and scent initiates healing. Olfactory Nostalgia is a look at medicinal triggers, scented memories, and the feelings that ensue when taking in a distinct ingredient.
Meet Chandler McLellan, Wyoming-based sculptor and trained carpenter and cabinet maker. Inspired by both elements of the past and future, Chandler has a degree in archeology, which fuels his abstract sculptures, while his home-town and the relative isolation drives escapism in his work.
“Perfume is also a key to the past and to our most vivid recollections.”
– Chandler McLellan
Name:
Chandler McLellan
What & Where:
Sculpture artist, cabinet maker, and carpenter based in Laramie, Wyoming.
Ingredient:
MYRRH
Olfactory Nostalgia:
Myrrh is the smell of old wood and dust. It reminds me of digging through wood scraps and dreaming up new creations. It has layers like a complex wood grain and can evolve like a piece of art.
Perfumery as Medicine:
Everyday starts with a scent, whether its coffee, toasted bread, fresh air, or the sawdust cloud that follows me all day. It can help to reframe my experience of the world.
Perfume is also a key to the past and to our most vivid recollections. I often use fragrances consciously as a tool in which to remember a time, place, or feeling.
