Acrylic with recycled fabric scraps on canvas.
23x23"
After sewing 500 scrub caps in response to the COVID pandemic, a huge pile of leftover bits of fabric remained, so naturally I had to find a purpose for these pieces. The Fabric of Our Times is a historically significant collection of mixed media artworks that not only symbolizes dedication, craftsmanship and teamwork but also celebrates the success of the Ontario Scrub Cap Facebook Group. Each scrap piece of fabric is insignificant alone but when sewn together becomes something greater.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My work is the expression of my experiences and emotions, a collection of things I find amusing, beautiful, nostalgic, humorous or absurd. With one brush stroke or stitch, it's how I'm thinking, feeling and observing the world. The work is also about sustainability as I source recycled materials in the creation process. Inspiration stems from creative innovators like the late Jillian Owens, a.k.a the re-fashionista who transformed the most hideous thrift store finds into ready-wear fashion.
