My inspiration for this piece is driven from the history of craft- primarily ceramics and textiles, while exploring colour, pattern, my love for gardening, food, and domestic objects. I have always been interested in the cross-overs across craft disciplines. An example of this are the many patterns used for both quilt-making and ceramic tile-making. Another form of borrowing/sharing that interests me is the overwhelming amount of ceramics in still life painting, which helps to give us historical context about ceramics and its place, and shows us how people have been fascinated by ceramics for hundreds of years. In this series I have borrowed different elements of patterns, craft-base materials and processes, as the main content of my rugs. These still life compositions aspire to highlight and celebrate everyday objects seen in Nova Scotia.
