Grand National is a Canadian fibre art exhibition that will travel to various venues across the country. The theme for the 2021 exhibition is Crossroads. The exhibit was scheduled to open today at the University of NB Art Centre with an online Awards ceremony. But New Brunswick recently announced a Covid shutdown. The quilts are hung and ready for judging, but the judges have not been able to enter the venue.  So the Awards ceremony has been delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition can be viewed online on the Grand National website. This page<\/a> has a slideshow of the 48 pieces. And this page<\/a> shows thumbnails of all the entries, and you can click on any item to see a full size image with the details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I submitted 3 entries to this exhibit and I’m thrilled to say that all of them were accepted! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my pieces Intersections<\/strong>, I made last year and posted about it a lot between May<\/a> and October<\/a>. It wasn’t intended for any specific exhibit, but it seemed appropriated for the Crossroads theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My other two pieces Night Driving<\/strong> and A Study of Pattern and Perspective<\/strong> were made specifically for the Crossroads exhibition. I worked on them between October and December, but never did post about them. I’m excited to be able to now show these two pieces. I will post more about my inspiration and construction techniques for these two pieces in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
