“BLESSINGS”

Marcella Pedersen is an award-winning stitcher whose practice began at the age of 10. Inspired by her aunt’s Bobbin Pin Lace, and taught embroidery stitches by her mother, Marcella has spent a lifetime creating works of art recognized for their skill and their beauty.

“With machine embroidery and factories making our clothing, hand embroidery seems to have lost its popularity…” She wanted to learn as many kinds of embroidery before they were lost all together. Now that she is involved with the Embroiderers’ Association of Canada, she is not as worried anymore and has seen a growing interest in embroidery. – from “Before it is Lost: Thirty Stiches, by Marcella Pedersen, Artist.

“HANDS”

Chris Hodge was initially an abstract painter influenced by the simple yet deep texture of his prairie surroundings. More recently, he has been investigating figure work and portraits as an extension of the abstractions. The pieces in Hands could be considered semi-abstract as the shapes and colours are not natural but designed to elicit emotions in the observer.

Our hands are the vehicle by which we engage the world around us. Whether creating, caressing, destroying or other activities, our hands are an integral part of the process...

Colour and simplicity are my main concerns when painting and I like to use layers of paint, hopefully leaving a deep impression on the viewer. ” – Chris Hodge, Artist.

Time: Is An Illusion | All We Have: Is Now

Dana Standinghorn is a Cree artist from Sweetgrass First Nation, Saskatchewan. She has been creating artwork for the past 30 years. Her work can be understood as abstract because it expresses her interpretation of the world around her.

While I paint, I let everything unravel onto the canvas without question. I let the color of paint and paintbrushes take me where it wants to. Every painting is a feeling, thought, idea, memory or a vision… The paintings are abstract so everyone is going to see something different, and that is what I love the most about my art.
– from Dana Standinghorn, Artist Statement
