Together: A Collaborative Project

Together is a collaborative project between pairs of Canadian artists – one working in fibre and the other in their chosen media. This exhibition has brought together a group of textile, quilt, and fibre artists working in a wide range of styles and paired them with painters, woodworkers, mixed media artists, potters, and glass artists. Each pairing of artists chose their own theme and their themes are as diverse as their media.

A Quilted Garden with Ann Fahl

Ann Fahl’s joy in working with color, texture, and fiber is reflected in her quilts. They emerge from her life, surroundings and childhood memories. Much of her work includes four themes: large birds, fans, botanic imagery and the geometry of triangles. She enjoys mixing machine piecing, appliqué, embroidery, and quilting with hand beading. Combining these techniques creates a variety of effects. Her quilts convey her positive outlook on life and her love of nature, color, and fiber.
