This mixed media tapestry (entitled 'Time’s Progress’, created from needled-felted wool & other fibres, interwoven with pulsing electroluminescent light) was displayed at Nuit Blanche Toronto 2019 at Artscape Daniels Launchpad, and was based on this city-wide public art exhibition's 'Continuum' theme.
“The tapestry represents the progress of time that is knitted into the fabric and pattern of our faces. We often expect life to follow a recognisable continuum from youthful optimism, to confident maturity, and hopefully, wise old age. But the path is not always linear, and we are constantly buffeted by creative and disruptive forces. Growth, ingenuity and inspiration can be experienced at any age, as can stagnation and decline, much like the world around us. This constant change - as represented by the light interwoven into the tapestry - makes an indelible mark on us all”
