Articulated Materials: Bridging Waters is opening in New Brunswick at the Saint John Arts Centre. Articulation, a Canadian exhibiting art group working with textiles and fibre as a fine art medium, takes traditional fiber art techniques in new and contemporary directions. Since 2004 they have organised annual study sessions to unique places in Canada, which serve to unify the resulting individual bodies of work when shown in their group exhibitions across Canada. A recent study of the Bay of Fundy coastline has generated a new path for Articulation leading to exhibiting internationally with another contemporary fiber arts group, Material Girls, based in London, England, who were inspired by their iconic River Thames. The resulting combined body of work, ARTICULATED MATERIALS: BRIDGING WATERS, consists of one 2D artwork each from ten Material Girls members and ten Articulation members. In addition, each group will have available more works to include in the exhibit...

Articulation and Material Girls' exhibition 'Articulated Materials: Bridging Waters' was installed in the Tulista Park Gallery, Sidney, BC. It hung for 14 days.... ...while over 900 people visited it. Now it has been packed up and shipped across the country to the Bay of Fundy where it will be installed in the Frazee Gallery in the Saint John Arts Centre in Saint John, New Brunswick. This is a well travelled exhibition.

Donna has just produced this great poster, using an image of Ingrid's work, to promote the 1st showing of  Articulated Materials: Bridging Waters. Didn't she do a great job.
