“Do not go gentle”
Lee
McLean’s solo textile art exhibit germinated in a hospital waiting room. As she
watched the minutes tick by, it struck her how much of her life was being spent
on managing her health, of all the associated wasted moments, and of how
control is chipped away as we age. She felt compelled to share these feelings
using her skills working with fabric and thread.
Her
series, inspired by the Dylan Thomas poem “Do not go gentle into that good
night”, is shown at St. Thomas
University Yellow Box Gallery, Fredericton, New Brunswick until Dec. 23, 2023.
In
Tending the World, she used a traditional quilt block to suggest a
person with back bent, reaching out.
