Diagonale (4)

Michele and I visited the Diagonale show yesterday, and were very impressed with the almost 200 pieces on display. Seeing them in the large, well-lit gallery allowed us to appreciate their variety, complexity and nuance.

Pam attended the silent auction today, and said there were hundreds of people there, though only 20 - 30% of the pieces were actually sold. I am thrilled to report that both of mine were sold, and also Pam's piece with the yellow star.

It was fun to participate. I find that the event is something of a peek into another dimension of fibre art.

  5. Venetta, you asked about the next show/deadline. Interestingly, several of us on the blog have entries in the Exquisite Corpse show, which will be the closing show for Helena's gallery. The show runs from January 20 - 29, and more information is available at www.galerieouest.ca.

    Participants include Colleen, Pamela, Michele, Dianne, Hilary, Helena and myself, as well as Marion Perrault, a former member of the blog. There are over forty artists in all.

    As soon as I can get hold of photos of the framed entries, I will try to post them.
