‘Botanical Reflections’ will be the next Fibre Art Network<\/a> (FAN) exhibit of mixed media fibre art.\u00a0 Each piece will measure 12″ x 24″ in either a landscape or portrait orientation.<\/p>\n

‘Botanical Reflections’ will debut at VanDusen Botanical Garden<\/a> in Vancouver on January 27, 2017 and continue through until March 15, 2017.\u00a0 VanDusen is an internationally recognized garden and display venue, focusing on native plants and materials in a 22 hectare setting.\u00a0 The exhibit will be shown in a gallery adjacent to the public admission area.<\/p>\n

I signed up to make two entries for this exhibit.\u00a0 I considered a variety of themes and techniques, before deciding on a somewhat abstract presentation with my favorite design element – the circle – or in this case, a half-circle.<\/p>\n

My inspiration for my first piece is this photo of a Ginkgo branch, that I took in Naramata at the 2011 FAN Retreat.\u00a0\u00a0 For the background, I selected 4 blue-green Batiks.\u00a0 The bottom half is intended to look like water, the top half like trees.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m portraying the Ginkgo leaves in bright colors.\u00a0 I’m calling this one ‘Ginkgo Reflections’.<\/p>\n

\"ginkgo-tree-naramata\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"terryaske_ginkgo-reflections_background\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"terryaske_ginkgorefections_in-progress\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

My second entry will be similar – same background fabrics, similar circle, and similar colors for leaves.\u00a0 The inspiration is this photo of maple leaves that I took in Victoria BC in November 2011.\u00a0 It will be called ‘Maple Reflections’.<\/p>\n

\"Maple<\/a>\u00a0 \"terryaske_maplerefections-background\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll be working intensively on these 2 entries for the next few days, because the deadline to finish them and submit photos is December 15th.<\/p>\n
