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.

Bicycling Jacket
Variable dimensions


















The materials used have all been bought at a second-hand store or are sustainable fabrics. However there is more than an an environmental comment being made with this jacket. One can see the 'mess ups' and struggle with the material; it is not functional with wing like flaps in lieu of sleeves. A fashion that does everything wrong, almost an anti fashion. The unique design and home made look reflects my intention to be cognizant of the processes implicit in our daily routines: how we clothe, transport, feed, and shelter ourselves. It is presented on a Judy, thus a further parody of individual representation juxtaposed upon a mass-produced object.

  2. I remember in 84 or 85 watching you coo and giggle in your car seat on the gym floor beside your moms chair every Sunday morning at church.
    It looks like you've become an accomplished young woman. Well done.
