Inheritance: Gown 3 Jane KiddSalt Spring Island, BC Prix du public - 3e prix Dimension 37" x 20" x 12" Médium Handwoven tapestry mounted on a metal support I am interested in the relationship between human activity and the natural world. The world around us has long provided a source for design, I continue this practise by referencing the realities of a changing environment; creating pattern drawn from industrial decay and derelict environments. The images are derived from human created surfaces like rusting metal, crumbling concrete, abandon brick paired with natural phenomena like mould, spores, lichen and moss. I use a symbolic reference to a garment as a surrogate for the human body. Here the object/garment is child sized to evoke the inheritor of our uncertain future.
