"For this collection of artwork, I use bright and bold colours to convey a sense of optimism and hope, thus capturing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity." -Dana Huhn
At the foundation of the work presented by the five artists in this exhibition is a sensuous experience of land, interdependence, and wayfinding. Whether articulating the relationship between fibre, dye, mordant, soil, and season through colour and cloth, these artists prioritize perception, both the act of seeing and the dynamic participation of body with place.
The second of two Artist Talks for this exhibition entitled The Sun & The Soil featuring the work of Anna Heywood-Jones, Emily Neufeld, Jennifer Brant, Mitra Mahmoodi, and Mehran Modarres-Sadeghi
