Following the Thread to New Patterns
What happens to the best-laid plans when you leave your studio? This talk explores the work of fibre artists Chantal Cardinal (Felt à la Main with Love) and Mallory Donen and the impact of recent residencies on their art practice: one following Icelandic wool and landscape away from her original plan, the other setting aside meticulous digital planning to experiment freely with cross-stitch. Together they explore how residencies pull artists out of their comfort zones and the new directions they bring home.
