Here is a new fibre art piece I made for the Arts New West Winter Solstice exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s based on a photo I took a few years ago of one of my favourite local landmarks – the Pattullo Bridge. This bridge is a beautiful structure, with its graceful arched shape, intricate angled beams, and distinctive colors. Unfortunately, it is old and beyond repair, so it will be replaced with a new bridge in the next year or so. The Pattullo was designed by supervising engineer Major W.G. Swan, and it opened in 1937.  You can read more about the history of the bridge here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My original photo was taken on a cloudy day and the colors were not good (photo on the left below). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A couple of years ago, I experimented with a variety of computer programs and iPad apps to digitally enhance the photo, with some wonderful results. (Unfortunately, I seem to have lost my notes about what programs I used). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have previously used two of these enhanced photos to create fibre art pieces – ‘Pattullo Bridge with Yellow Sky<\/a>‘ and ‘Jade Sky at Night<\/a>‘. I had forgotten about this one. While scrolling through my photo library looking for inspiration for the Winter Solstice exhibition, I rediscovered this version of my photo. It seemed perfect for this theme with the dark cloudy sky. I printed it on fabric, and outlined some of the main bridge components with stitching. It is 10 x 10 inches, and mounted on a black canvas frame.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Gallery at Queen’s Park will be hosting the Winter Solstice Exhibition December 4 – December 22, 2024. “The exhibition will feature work from over 50 local artists and looks to embrace this magical season. The short days and long nights of Winter are imbued with moody ambience and spiritual significance. It is a time for contemplation, but also for celebration. Visit the gallery and celebrate the season through art.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
