Back after popular demand after the Matrix of Textile show last spring, this year's exhibit is a chance to rethink textile, with works from Emily Carr University students of design, painting, printmaking, sculpture, bookbinding, photography and multimedia — and anything else we forgot.

Evulving Botanically

Performance-based soft sculpture/video art project



This organic, fabric form is like a flower, that opens up and carries like a purse, revealing many hidden treasures from within. Across the vast expanse of supposed attributes that create feminine identity, we find direct confrontation and confusion with actual female experiences. This soft sculpted vessel has become a container for much of the social baggage that I have long desired to unpack. Through play and performance this 'purse' comes to life, allowing metaphors and meaning to unfold beyond my expectations.
