Cutting off my recent warp - 9 yards and a variation of the Jewel pattern from Margairte Porter Davidson.
ARTISTIC CREATION FUNDING
'Golden Mimosa Symphony' is a durational feature that focuses on the complex emotional lives and oversimplifications of mothers as nurturers and caregivers to explore them as individuals, and by extension how that shapes their daughters. Told through the lens of women's experiences, this multi-vocal film addresses the memories, tensions, imperfections and disappointments that are unique to mother-daughter relationships.
We acknowledge the generous support of the
Canada Council for the Arts.

HAPPIER WEAVING
I am the happy new companion to this beautiful Leclerc Fanny Loom. I purchased this loom from a weaving elder in Lindsey, ON who wove on this loom for 30 years! She said weavers are like witches. I TOTALLY agree.
I LOVE HER!!! We will make beautiful art together. <3

A QUIET VISIT
Last week I went to visit my Mom at the Woodlawn Cemetery in Burlington, Ontario.
This last year has been hard and I wanted to leave this thought so as time passes I am able look back and remember how love changes to grief and back to love when healing occurs.
I took this photo with the Maple leaf on Mom’s grave marker because I love nature’s delicate embrace.
She was a good woman and I miss her dearly.
