Poplar ArtCraft is pleased to present Navigating, an exhibition of work by Vancouver artist Bettina Matzkuhn in gallery2.
Matzkuhn writes, “Embroidery is a language of extreme detail with the possibility of exaggeration. Cartography shares this history and aesthetic as every map is an edited version of geography and events, and is subject to further revision. In this exhibit, I am creating markers in a personal geography made of thread and metaphor.”
Crafting a Perfect Dinner Party with Decorative Diplomacy (A Locke Rozene Project) continues in
gallery1 until May 2, 2008.
