World of Threads Festival 2023 

Judy Martin's Northern Ontario installation is one of more than 50 solo exhibitions at the festival this year.  Eight parts are installed in Martin's grouping.  The primary materials are wool, velvet, yarn and time.  

 

Time Past: Island Heart, Eternity, Time Present, Flowers Bloomed, The Forever all by Judy Martin

Martin was born and grew up in North Western Ontario.  She moved to North Eastern Ontario (Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron) thirty years ago. The larger pieces in her installation are inspired by the rock cuts of the Canadian Shield that line the highways that cut across this vast part of Canada.

The installation includes six smaller pieces that read as abstractions on female garments or are they cocoons or are they seed pods?  

My Heart, The Forever

World of Threads festival continues until December 17, 2023.

It is open every day at the Queen Elizabeth Park Community Centre in Oakville, 2075 Bridge Road and is free to the public.  Plan to go two or three times as there is far too much to take in during one visit.
