This piece was done in
response to the Exhibition titled 'Edge of the Forest' by the
Canadian Surface Design Association. It was submitted on October 01,
2014 and news of its acceptance was received November 18, 2014. It
will travel around starting at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Arts and
then across Canada for two years.
The original sketch for
this piece was an old cottage in Quathiaski Cove near the ferry
terminal. The cottage sits almost at the water's edge with the north
facing forested hillside rising darkly, steeply behind it. The
cottage beckons invitingly as a last hint of summer colour glows
above in the maple leaves.
Materials and Techniques.
100% cotton fabrics, double layer of 100% cotton batting. The
wholecloth piece was enriched with fibres of various kinds and hues.
Then several colours of polyester sheer fabrics were laid over top
and stitching in black threads completed the design. The piece was
heat blasted until the highlights of the sheer fabrics melted away.
Size: 16” x 28”
