A WAY WITH WORDS
An Out of
The Box Fibre Artists Exhibition
Stittsville
Public Library Nov. 1st- 30th, 2015
Out of the Box (OOTB) is
a group of fibre artists passionate about creating and sharing innovative,
thought-provoking fibre art. The group promotes fibre art in the community with
exhitbitions in and around Ottawa every year.
The challenge for the
current show at the Stittsville Public Library
was for the artists to start from a page or pages taken from an old dictionary and to let it spark
their imagination. The exhibition displays 24 pieces by 22 fibre artists. Each
piece is quite unique as the artists have used a wide variety of materials, techniques
and design approaches
The show runs until
November 30th at the Stittsville Public Library, 1637
Stittsville Main, Stittsville, ON K2S 1A9.

Je participe à cette exposition avec un livre fait à base de chandail de laine feutré, un projet que j'envisageais depuis longtemps. J'aime beaucoup acheterdes chandails pure laine dans des fripperies, et les feutrer pour ensuite imaginer des usages pour ces tissus qui ne s'effilent pas. quand j'ai vu ce chandail, je suivais mon premier cours de reliure de livres et l'idée m'est venue d'en faire un livre.
