Past Events

Interplay will present works that explore parallels, synergies, or tensions between two or more ideas. Artworks may examine connections between seemingly unrelated concepts, map relationships between maker and materials, or reflect interactions between maker and tools. Works may employ traditional, interdisciplinary, or collaborative methodologies.

Honoring the diverse range of approaches within fiber art and highlighting the rich tapestry of multicultural links, Interplay looks toward a future informed by the past, bringing together ideas for fresh reflection, reinterpretation, and deeper understanding.

I will be in Gibsons on May 25 to give a talk about the work included in my show Hanging By A Thread. The Illusion of Permanence.

I will discuss the ideas behind these pieces and the techniques I used to create them.

The talk is from 2 - 3pm.

A selection of pieces from The Chorus - Morse Code Wavings, What Once Was: The Apocalypse Is Now, and Still Fighting - Morse Code War Belts.
