Forty Days and Forty Nights (Making the bed)
Hand-coloured and sewn muslin, 2018
All quilts are just pieces joined together to make pictures. I made one quilt for the rain and one quilt for the sun. They held together just long enough for the exhibition.
Travel assistance for the exhibition of Forty Days and Forty Nights (Making the bed) at AXENÉO7 was generously provided by the British Columbia Arts Council.

Fits and Starts
Hand-coloured and sewn muslin, 2017
Expend as much effort as possible. Let everyone see it, touch it and maybe walk all over it too.
The sewing projects in Fits and Starts were made with Project Assistance from the British Columbia Arts Council.

These women in my family
Take planes, trains and several buses to the fold in a valley and find a bunch of women who are just like you.
These works were developed during a 2016 residency at MASS MoCA made possible through a Canada Council for the Arts International Residencies Grant and Project Assistance from the British Columbia Arts Council.
