Exhibition Opening Reception – The Death Card – Robin Wiltse
Please join us for the exhibition opening reception for Robin Wiltse’s ‘The Death Card’ on Friday, July 3rd from 7 – 9pm. This is a FREE event open to everyone. Robin Wiltse is a Canadian fibre artist, living near Kaslo, working in wool. With a love of colour and
texture, and drawing, from a background of painting and illustration, she uses a single needle to manipulate the fibres into rich and detailed images.
It can take many months to complete a single artwork. Using the power of repetition, there are parallels to the patterns of time, in nature and the human experience.
Robin’s current work is often inspired by botanical folklore. Looking into the ways that historical botany, myth and legend have tried to explain the mysteries of life and death through healing, ritual and magic.
