Here is my entry for this year’s annual textile art exhibit Cherry Blossoms: A Textile Translation<\/strong><\/em><\/a> which will be on display in April at the Silk Purse Arts Centre in West Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reviewed my collection of photos of cherry blossoms, and found this close-up of a blossom and buds with a nicely blurred background. I enhanced the image with a computer program to boost the colors and add an interesting artistic effect with squares. The image on the right is the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I printed the enhanced image on prepared fabric at about 13\u2033 x 13\u2033. I layered it on felt and added outline quilting with black thread. It’s mounted on a black 12\u2033 x 12\u2033 wrapped canvas. I titled it \u2018Blossoms Squared<\/strong>\u2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibit will be on display Wednesday, April 09 through Sunday, May 04, 2025 at the Silk Purse Arts Centre<\/a>, 1570 Argyle Ave., West Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Opening Reception will be on Thursday, Apr. 10, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
