Moody Crush by Kristi Farrier

HB: Place in Perspective is a dynamic exhibition resulting from a three-year collaboration between three artists.  The artwork both showcases our individual voices and reveals how our sense of place is wholly influenced by who we are and how we interpret and give meaning to a location.

FLOCK: Anne Morrell Robinson, Margaree Valley, CB 

O is for Ostritch by Anne Morrell Robinson
(w43"xh54")

AMR: Working in a series and exploring fabric collage allow me to just have fun playing with nature’s shapes and colours. Fun is something we all need in our lives as we adapt to the current changes in the world and our daily lives. Do the birds realize they are adapting to the changes or is it just instinct? Let’s find our place with as much joy as a bird soaring on the wind currents. 

A Sense of Place: Regina Marzlin, Antigonish NS 

RM: In these works, I try to capture the beauty of the nature around me by using actual plant material to print on fabric. My colour choices, placement and paint layering are my responses to the astonishing beauty of even the humblest weed. These works convey a sense of place and an awe of the details in nature in a tactile medium that shows the hand of the maker.
