July 18 - September 15th We are excited to welcome Newfoundland textile artist Anastasia Tiller to the gallery at the Elora Centre for the Arts this summer! The exhibition features several rug hooked textile forms and paintings of various sizes including soft sculptures suspended in space by fishing lures and cords with marine hooks.
This visually captivating showcase merges traditional Newfoundland rug hooking techniques with contemporary interpretations, offering a unique and thought-provoking exploration of the symbiotic relationship between nature and humanity.
This collection will engage and inspire visitors, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world, in a playful & colour-filled joyful way.
'Symbiosis' means “living together,” a term used to describe a close, on-going relationship between different species. Tiller finds inspiration in the diverse ecosystems of the Bonavista Peninsula, as well as the fascinating array of fossils found on the island, which tell stories of life forms from over 500 million years ago. In her paintings and sculptures, Tiller combines real and imagined, old and futuristic, large and small, creating new, hybrid beings and ecosystems. Humans are guests in these worlds, encouraged to recognize and respect other forms of life.
