Summer Solo

Every summer since I've been a textile artist, I have had a solo exhibition over the summer.  This year, I'm putting a twist on things!  I applied for a show at the Gallery at the Frances Morrison Central Library.  I have been enjoying some thread sketching of architecture on the side.  I made a handful of postcards 2 yrs ago with some buildings on them, and I just love them!  So I applied for a show based on the photos I was taking while working in the downtown core on Fridays.  It's like a new landscape for me.  I began to see places that humans have built and gathered at as endearing.  I began to see the 'concrete jungle' as human and full of spirit and character.  They said yes!  And so for the last couple of months I have been working working working to create larger fabric and thread art of the places I have gathered.  "Gathering Places" will be on exhibition for the whole month of August in Saskatoon. The Reception is set for Tuesday night, August 9 from 7 pm to 9 pm.


See you there!

Congratulations, Monika. I know the show will be Stupendous, as always. Unfortunately I am out of town on the 9th, so will not be able to attend the opening. But, I will definitely get in to see it when I am back. best of luck and have a great summer
