Julie McIntyre: Sewn Stories
May 9 - July 5, 2008

Fairy tales, myths, legends, fables, childhood songs and her grandmother’s box of travel photographs has fed Julie McIntyre’s imagination and the result is nearly 50 meticulous works created entirely of paper, ink and thread.   The exhibition, divided into two large series of work: Bedtime Stories and Travel Stories, includes quilts, wearable art pieces and an artist book on nursery rhymes.

Each work is sewn together from pieces of multicoloured woodcut and lithography prints as well as various types of decorative papers including rag, rice, mulberry and hemp. The artist summarizes the exhibition as, "a celebration of the elegance and strenght of fine papers, grand stories, relief prints, art quilts and motherhood."
