Nuit Blanche Toronto - October 5, 2019
Theme: 21st Century Craft
Self Portrait - Pieces of Me
With a dress as my canvas, using traditional needlework, textile manipulation and crafting techniques, I have built a self portrait- a deconstruction of myself, piece by piece.
Needlework and fabric manipulation can reach beyond the solely practical/craft realm and tell stories, evoke emotions and thought. This is my homage to embroiderers and textile artists of yore.

Interactive Companion Piece to Self Portrait - Pieces of Me
Visitors were invited describe what the individual embroidered hoops meant to them- what they saw. Or to draw 'pieces of themselves'. These were then attached to a blank hoop dress.
The resultant dress was creative, thoughtful and insightful.
