'City Blocks' window installation - DesignTO Festival

'City Blocks' window installation - DesignTO Festival

  • 1675 Dundas St West Toronto Canada (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

I’m excited to participate in this year’s DesignTO Festival - see my window installation “City Blocks” at 1675 Dundas St West, from Jan 25th through Feb 2nd.

About my textile installation:

‘City Blocks’ is a project that builds on the tradition of patchwork and quilting. Quilts are typically made up of several blocks of fabric that are sewn together, their repeating patterns and colour values creating a pleasing design. Traditional quilt blocks were designed to tell a story or reflect an aspect of daily life, and simple shapes were configured in various ways, developing a graphic vocabulary reflective of a certain time.

Through a series of repeating patchwork patterns, ‘City Blocks’ presents a vocabulary that is informed by the built environment around us now. The installation is composed of a large textile panel featuring quilt blocks made of scrap and recycled fabric. The shapes and forms of the quilt blocks are distilled from familiar elements we encounter every day, reflecting this place and the changing landscapes of this city.

Over and Over: A Repeat Pattern Workshop

We are surrounded by pattern: from the prints on our clothes, to the paper we wrap gifts with, to the sheets we sleep on, our lives are enhanced by repeat patterns of all kinds. Spend a morning immersed in all things surface pattern design, as you develop your very own repeating patterns to use in your art, craft or textile projects.
