Handhooked Current: Day 10 #HHC100days
"Sharing remarkable works that stop us in our tracks by artists who rug hook, punch needle & tuft"

"It intrigues me that so many of us walk around feeling separate and 'weird'" – Terri Whetstone.

~ Curatorial statement: "At the heart of this exhibition lies the recognition that personal narratives are never isolated; they are intricately connected to the broader fabric of social, cultural, and political contexts. Each piece of art is a testament to the ways in which personal struggles and triumphs are shaped by and, in turn, shape the world around us."

Ephemeral Allure: New Botanical Collages
June 19 – July 6, 2016 ArtsPlace, Annapolis Royal, NS

RECEPTION with artist in attendance will be held July 3, 2016 11:30 - 2:00 pm.

Playfully dystopian, the collages suggest a world where environmental degradation has spawned new flora incorporating textile and print ephemera as a type of genetic modification. In the spirit of the scientific observation of botanical drawings, I invite you to view my investigations of these new strange flora and to contemplate with me, our fascination with beauty found within the exotic in nature - as un-natural as it may become.
