Joanna Close
A Family of Blankets
November 1st – December 18th, 2009 at Ross Creek Centre for the Arts
Exhibition Reception: Sunday, November 1st, 1 – 3 pm
In her latest work, Halifax-based textile artist Joanna Close weaves images of the rural landscape into a richly coloured and delicately textured series of hand-woven, hand-dyed blankets inspired by the members of her family. Says Close regarding her work, “I consider space as a defining factor of Canada's geography. Knowing the land and the area around you is an idea I explore. In particular the connections we have to the landscapes we grew up in.”
Close is a NSCAD graduate and completed her MA in Textile and Fibre Art at the Winchester School of Art (U of Southampton) in the UK in 2006. She has exhibited widely throughout Atlantic Canada and currently teaches at NSCAD and maintains her studio practice in Halifax.
