Texture Tuesday – Textures in Fibre Arts


….textures at the Assembly Hall

On my walk yesterday I went further than I have in months. It was a cool but gorgeous day as I made my way over to the Assembly Hall. It was about a 6K walk there and back. When I reached the hall I discovered that there was an art show on display called Herstory. It was put together by a group of Women from the Niagara Women’s Collective (SWFT) showcasing unique stories of women with overlapping experiences.

Some of my favourite pieces were the soft sculptures by Debra Jackson-Jones and Mori McCrae.

I also enjoyed Francie McGlynn’s paintings that included soft woven patches of fabric and hard edged buttons.
