2015 Catalogue Haida Gwaii All Island Art Show 2015 Artists Catalogue Aayaay “Headband” Wool $1,200 Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. Ronda Bell “Celebration” Pencil, pen, ink NFS I compiled this image from some photographs taken a few years ago. I wanted to see if the subject and the background could be combined effectively. Bill Bellis “Whirlpool of Spawning Sockeye Salmon in a Forested River Served on a Plate” Repousse casting, hand-tooled, soldered, inlaid silver, oxblood coral, turquoise, spiny oyster shell, ivory, pea gravel from Balance Rock, yellow cedar camping plate from Copper Bay $700 per fish Georgia Bennett “Xuux”” Chilkat weaving NFS This weaving is called the Chilkat butterfly, but I added sparkle wool so this is what you get when you cross a butterfly with a raven -- Xuux. I use a combination of traditional skills and contemporary materials, which gives me limitless color combinations that I can use to make one- of-a-kind pieces of art. I am striving to become a Master in Traditional Ravens' Tail Weaving by working with master weavers Evelyn Vanderhoop and William White. I am greatly humbled and feel very grounded when I am doing what I love… WEAVING! John Brent Bennett “Golden Eagle” Yellow cedar The bulge bowl has 81 inlaid opercula. Linda Berston “Lunch at the 4th Hole” Acrylic NFS This work was inspired by actual lunches at the 4th Hole of Dixon Entrance Golf Course. Any serious golfer knows that this is simply not done. However, after more than 10 strokes per hole, a rest was necessary. I hope I have captured the fun and silliness of our lunches while the serious golfers play through. Rolf Bettner “ififellin…” Photograph Daniel Binnema $299.99 Whatitis “Emergence” Acrylic NFS Emergence is the phenomenon of a whole being more than the sum of its parts: the creative force out of which life emerges. It is only through the relationship of the parts, the continuous web of interconnected nested wholes, that we exist. Caitlin Blewett “Okanagan Evening” Felt NFS This joyful creation of soap, water and fibre was inspired by the sunsets over Okanagan Lake that featured in almost every evening of my childhood summers. Fraser Brown “It Will Pass” Acrylic $360 “It Will Pass” is an analogous image based on considerations around Impermanence and uncertainty. Humanity to date has proven to be a powerful agent of change upon our planet, but we are not the apex existence that Darwin so damagingly bestowed upon us. It is as simple as being caught out in a downpour while trying to cook a weenie for one to understand that there are larger forces at play in our universe than ourselves. Julie Busshoff “Sunflower” Felt NFS As a quilter, tapestry artist, knitter, and tole painter who has worked with a number of media for more than 30 years, this is a further extension for me, creating art in mixed media, and most especially using natural wool which has always been a special material to me. I am also a gardener and so choosing a flower design was enjoyable and an easy decision. Felting has proved to be a fascinating creative process that has opened me to many new ideas. Jason Camp Betsy Cardell “One Million Gallons #1” Ink $550 “The Green Man” No tankers Salt clay, white glue, Cabbage Lungwort, lichen, acrylic paint, LED lights, wire NFS I had the great pleasure and privilege to travel to Bali to visit some very good friends. Each neighbourhood where I stayed, I would make a point of walking the little streets and byways, marveling at the sights. There would always be fabulous doors and roofs, but my favourites were the little hidden shrines. The spirits they were meant to honour were unknown to me. However, their peaceful smiles and calm presence is something I carried away in my heart. Shyla Cross “Tawla Jaad” Tie-dye, acrylic NFS I am by no means an artist and this was my first attempt at painting. This was made for my friend’s birthday and she is from the Gak’yaals Kiigawaay clan of K’uuna ’Llnagaay clan. On this piece there are two of the clan’s crests: Tawla (rainbow) and Xuuya (Raven). One of my favourite scenes is lying on the beach at Skedans and admiring the rainbow stretched across the village while listening to the ravens. So here it is shown in art form. Kayoko Daugert “Grandma’s Yo’s November Visit” Watercolour $420 Mother loved to visit in summertime – days were warm and garden bountiful. She never came in winter, but she may have liked an autumn visit. At first she would miss the garden and be put off by stark, bare alders. But there would be that moment when her eyes would light up – when flocks of geese and ducks came gliding in with the incoming tide while the muddy tide flats, saturated and gravid, would gleam under slanting sunlight. Jennifer Davies “Caitlin’s Doll” Linen, cotton floss NFS This cloth doll, made by Maggie Karibjani (a Lawn Hill resident at that time) was given to our daughter in the late ‘70’s. She sits on an antique chair and is unique and sentimentally very special. My husband made an etching of her in the 80’s. Now I have portrayed her in this form using simple embroidery techniques. Laura Dutheil “Woman Becoming Kelp” Silver, kelp, stones NFS Silver carved bracelet of a woman resting on her side morphing into kelp. An Eagle watches overhead. It is displayed on dried kelp attached to a black boxed frame with an acrylic miniature study of a woman becoming kelp. I like to observe and imagine before I carve. This piece is a way to show the process. Lexi Forbes ”K’aaw” Fran Fowler Fabric $175 “West Coast – East Coast” Fabric NFS Traditional style rug hooking mat, using recycled cotton T-shirts and beach-combed treasures. A favourite place … so walking on carpet, instead of the beach. Abby Fraser “Breathe” Paint, plaster, rope NFS This piece is the final product for my entry project based on Transformation for Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Here I depict the roots of the tree transforming into the bronchioles of the lungs. This symbolizes how much we rely on the environment to keep us alive and healthy. Trees photosynthesize and produce oxygen that we inhale and turn into carbon dioxide that the trees require for photosynthesis. There is a deep interconnection between humans and the environment in that we provide for each other. The trees are the lungs of the earth. Debby Gardiner Jason Goetzinger “Coffee in Sienna” “The Beginning” Silk, beads Acrylic $350 NFS In this work I used the techniques of underpainting and glazing. Influences for the style of imagery come from many different cultural art forms, including Japanese, Celtic, and Egyptian. I am interested in the simplified forms of ancient artists and how they used the distribution of space and proportion in their designs to achieve beautiful results. Inspiration for the subject matter of my work usually comes from observing people and nature. Laura Granger “Nereocystis luetkeana” Acrylic $150 Growing up on Vancouver Island, I have always been drawn to the beauty of the ocean and the west coast. Having lived in Tofino and now Haida Gwaii, I have been consistently inspired to paint sunsets and seascapes, and painting kelp has allowed me to indulge in my love of vibrant colours. Geoff Greene Tony Greene “Blue” Acrylic “Chuckie Bear” $500 Copper NFS My influences are traditional art and modern artists like Mark Rothko. By combining colours from the sky, sea and land with traditional art is the start of new ways of expressing myself. Robin Hawse “The Reckoning” Acrylic $650 I am fascinated with fantasy – larger-than-life visuals. My technique is to map out my work, then paint from light to dark. Focal points are tinted very light and pop out with a kind of energetic vibrancy. The end results should cast an entertaining spell on you and whisk you away into a forgotten realm… Nancy Hett “Fish Vessel no. 1” Clay $90 I have recently been inspired to try some sculpture. Most of my work is wheel-thrown, so that’s how I began this piece. It became a vessel because that’s what I know best. It is thrown, coiled, pinched and hand-built. I enjoyed making it and I think that gave it the jolly expression it seems to have. Cacilia Honisch "Winter Alders at the Tlell River" Watercolour NFS With each new season, I have been wanting to paint some of the wonderful landscape scenes we have here on Haida Gwaii. This year I finally tried to capture the alders at the Tlell River in winter. I hope to be more involved with painting in watercolour in the future, now that I am truly retiring and can follow one of my hobbies. Ding Hutchingson “Swan Bay Rediscovery – Tribute to Slatechuck” series Argillite, copper, silver I was generously gifted with argillite from the kids who journeyed up Slatechuck Mountain as part of the Swan Bay Rediscovery program. It had been many years since I had argillite to work with, and I was inspired by their kindness to create these containers and sculptures that share our old Haida stories. Remembering how difficult the trip up the can be, I wanted to make sure they see the work that was produced. Their seat and mine went into these pieces. Together we’ve helped carry on the ways of our ancestors.

Published February, 1919. J. S. Gushing Co. — Berwick & Smith Co. Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. ; 155688 PREFACE This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

  • Crosscurrents: Canada in the Making
    Crosscurrents: Canada in the Making Textile Museum of Canada June 27, 2018-March 31, 2019 Resource and Activity Guide Crosscurrents: Canada in the Making This land has long been the meeting place of many cultures. As powerful symbols of identity and place, textiles hold strong spiritual and material connections to the land and people around the world. Textiles and their stories move with people and reveal the ways in which cultural traditions change as diverse communities come in contact with new environments. Crosscurrents explores the diversity of textile traditions that enliven this country, an outcome of ongoing encounters between First Peoples, settler Canadians, and newcomers. It reveals a story of convergence—on the one hand a collision of cultures brought on by devastating historical events, and on the other, a mutual exchange of materials, techniques, styles and ideas. Through collaborations and confrontations, memories, dreams and traditions converge to reveal a dynamic and multi-layered textile landscape across time. Hooked rugs, blankets, quilts, beadwork, basketry, textile-making tools and other iconic objects illustrate broad cultural crosscurrents and values that continue to inspire new generations of textile practitioners, highlighting stories of continuity, movement and transformation. Crosscurrents draws from the TMC’s rich Canadian collection of historic artifacts and loans from public and private collections, and features the artwork of Vanessa Dion Fletcher, Brenda Lee, Meghann O’Brien, Amanda Rataj, and Ovilu Tunnillie. Throughout the exhibition, commentary and responses by community members contextualize these objects within contemporary dialogue and experience. Images: Cover: Vanessa Dion Fletcher, Cuff bracelet; Next page (clockwise from top left): Hooked rug, T99.5.3; Sewing kit, T03.7.1a-f; Quilt, T94.0378 ; Ceinture fléchée, T2008.9.2 About the artists Vanessa Dion Fletcher is an artist of Potawatomi and Lenape ancestry, living and working in Toronto.
