Cloth of Time exhibit at Mary E Black Gallery, Halifax

SAQA members Penny Berens of Granville Beach NS and Judith Martin of Manitoulin Island ON are bringing their stitched journals together in a show they call Cloth of Time. These large hand-stitched pieces will be on display at the Mary E Black Gallery, 1061 Marginal Road, Halifax, from July 13 to August 26 2018. An opening reception will be held at 6pm on Thursday, July 12.

Cloth of Time is an exhibition that presents two distinct ways of observing and recording time with the intimate and familiar gestures and marks of hand stitch. 

Daily Scratchings by Penny Berens, stitched every day from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2015.

Not To Know But To Go On by Judy Martin was stitched on a daily basis from 2010 to 2015.
