On Balance, 2018:
This blanket is a collection of pieces woven by members of the "Weaving Our Way" group that meets at the Dunbar Community Centre. It showcases how, although each artist's piece arose from their individual artistic inclinations, in the end they all came together to form a part of the collective.The threads that connect them are symbolic of the connections between the weavers themselves. While each individual piece varies greatly in shape and size, just like all of us, they come together to form a colourful, balanced whole. I was honoured to be a weaving mentor for this group and to assemble and stitch together this collaborative blanket. |
