The idea for our Whisper Project comes from the presentation about the work of the SAQA Central Canada Fergus-Guelph pod. It is based on the childhood game of telephone, in which a whispered message becomes changed as it is passed from person to person. In this case, the artwork changes. See Central Canada Whisper Project 2024 for their results.
Participating members will be assigned into groups, each with several members. The expectation is to complete a 12 x 12-inch piece within six weeks.
Here is how it works:
Artist 1 receives an original photograph and creates a 12 x 12-inch art quilt inspired by that photograph. They then send in a photo of their artwork to be used by Artist 2. Artist 2 uses the photo of Artist 1's artwork as inspiration to create a 12 x 12-inch art quilt and then sends a photo of their artwork in for Artist 3, and so on.
Once all the artworks are completed, they will be revealed
to the group along with their artist statements.
Our Whisper Project started January 15 and ended August 13,
2025. We ended up with 4 goups. Stay tuned to see the results of our project
