Left - Ingrid's "Night" is an abstract response to the city she has lived in for many years. There are lots of layers here: screen printing, applique, mark making by hand.
Middle - Gloria's work started as a black piece of cloth that she discharged, cut up and reassembled. The black boarder is lost on the black curtain.
Right - My work. While I was researching the Tyndall stone quarried just outside Winnipeg, I found a reference to it also being known as 'Tapestry Stone', which just begged me to make a stone block in a tapestry technique.
On the left is Donna's work and I find her response as a prairie girl most interesting. With a life-long perspective of the flora being below her knees, she has emphasised the continual falling of leaves and debris from above as a unique aspect of the rain forest ecosystem.
The work on the right is Vickie's. Her perspective is as a more distant observer looking at the rain forest as details move in and out of focus. She has a more atmospheric response.
The work on the left is Donna's from the Winnipeg body of work. She explored in a number of works the ethnic diversity of the immigrants to Canada as they came to claim their grid-surveyed plot of land.
