Call for entry for the 2016 Canadian Contemporary Felt Exhibition and Felt Fashion Show.
This year the work will be installed and presented at the Canadian Felt
Symposium at the Okanagan School of the Arts in Penticton, BC from
September 20-26, 2016.
This year there is a symposium theme: Migration. A movement in felt.
Migration describes how our felt is physically made as the layers of
wool fibres move and entwine. Fibres migrating through cloth to create
nuno felt; colours migrating to create blends and shadows; fibre breeds
and weights migrating to build interesting surface structure.
The exhibition is in the Fall…a primary season of migration in the
natural world. The idea of movement gives much scope for interesting and
individual approaches to composition.
The theme can be interpreted in many ways: the physicality of the
medium, patterns in the natural world, our human migrations through
travel and (im)migration, exploring current/historic social attitudes.
