'Touch'
SAQA Western Canada Regional Trunk Show
Exhibition Schedule:
Various venues starting March 2021.
Artists interpret the theme: What touches you? What do you touch? Touch can be physical, emotional or spiritual. Touch is part of our well-being, an elemental form of communication, and a lack of touch can affect our physical and emotional health. We say ‘Keep in touch’ to those we wish to have contact with, ‘I’m touched’ as an emotional response or ‘don’t touch’ to keep people away.

'On the Bias'
A traveling exhibit by members of the Fibre Art Network
Opens January 2022 - December 2024 This exhibition will travel to various venues for three years.
Bias can be negative or positive, conscious or subconscious, scientific or philosophical. It can also be a play on words, which, for textile artists, has a special meaning. When fabric is cut “on the bias” diagonally across the grain, it is more fluid and has greater flexibility and drapability. Bias-cut edges don’t fray!
As humans and artists, we are familiar with the concept of bias as it applies to society, politics, or the environment, and also to interactions with our family, friends, and neighbours. Bias is generally thought of as negative - prejudice in favour of or against a thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. But we all have people, places or things we prefer - bias is part of the richness of life.
