Médium

Eco-print and cotton sashiko thread on flax linen

This quilt traces Salt Spring Island’s topography and surrounding waters without borders, collapsing the perceived division between land and sea. One side presents the island from above; the other, from below— offering two orientations of the same form. Eco-printed and dyed with seawater, salal, bark, berries, and decaying plant matter, the linen carries the imprint of winter’s quiet alchemy. The work is both map and meditation: a tactile reflection on how memory, orientation, and place are shaped by invisible forces. What appears opposite is bound together—the unity of chaos and order. As the universe, so the soul.

À propos de l'artiste
À propos de l'artiste

Terri Potratz
Salt Spring Island, British Columbia

Terri Potratz is a Canadian artist and writer whose textile practice bridges material experimentation and narrative form. Through eco-printing, natural dyes, and slow hand-stitching, she creates conceptual textiles that explore resilience, memory, and transformation. Her approach is shaped by a background in design—she founded Larry Designs (2006–2015), a knitwear line known for sculptural forms—and a parallel career as a writer and magazine editor. Since 2010, she has exhibited nationally and internationally in South Africa and Chile. Her current projects investigate geography, history, and the quiet power of process.
