This exhibition will showcase fibre art created by eight artists from central and eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island) who work with time consuming and highly involved textile techniques and processes. Inlay and ikat weaving, papermaking, rug hooking, embroidery, needle lace, hand-dyeing, screen printing and bead weaving will be highlighted and draw attention to labour intensive, time-based work as an integral part of the artists’ practice.
