Canadiana--Yukon Gold

The FibreArt Network has a new show opening soon, at the New Zealand Quilt Symposium....

The theme is Canadiana.

This is my entry in the show. Yukon Gold

Artist's Statement

Where IS the Yukon’s gold? In the gold mine slashed into the hillside?  Or has it already mostly melted away like the snow of early spring, disappearing as quickly as the once innumerable cariboo are doing? Perhaps the treasure is in the Yukon River itself at sunset.

Alouette Stump

Winging its way home any time now....from a show in the FibreWorks Studio on the Sunshine Coast...

from a photo of an old stump from when Alouette Lake was first logged in the 1920's. Wave action on the reservoir has washed out all the soil, and the entire stump is bared. The photo is printed on cotton fabric, painted, pencilled, stitched and quilted.
