Transitions
Every life, every city, every human interaction undergoes change; combine this with nature’s changing seasons and landscapes, and a plethora of transitional episodes occur. With a combination of fabrics and threads, along with embellishments in lace, embroidery floss, wool, and found items, including dyeing, painting, colouring or stamping, the artist have hand-stitched or machine quilted their interpretation of the theme ‘transitions’. The Transitions exhibition shows some of the finest textile art in Atlantic Canada, including interesting and unusual use of fibre.
