Elizabeth Babyn: Her Industry, Reclaimed
Project an homage to generations of women who have toiled and continue to work in the textile industry
Gordon Snelgrove Gallery exhibition
Dates: May 21 - 31, 2019
Reception: May 24, 7 - 10 pm
Free and open to the public
This work explores a variety of textile processes that women have historically advanced, such as embroidery, mending, sewing, crocheting and, more recently, needle felting, through the creation of tapestries made of up-cycled textiles. This project is an homage to the artist's late mother, Rollande, as well as to generations of mothers and other women who have toiled and continue to work within the textile industry in domestic, industrial and creative spaces.
The artist invites the public to collaboratively explore an ongoing textile sculpture:
May 21, 22, 23 from 9 am – 12 pm
May 28, 29, 30 from 1:30 – 4:30 pm
