A Textile Interpretation of the Eastern Townships
Composition
Resulting from a collaboration with illustrator Isabelle Arsenault, this textile wall piece celebrates the Eastern Townships, the adopted home of both artists. Inspired by naïve art, it offers a sensitive and structured interpretation of the region, blending geographical representation with contemporary textile expression.
Created and presented exclusively to inaugurate the Leporello gallery space in Knowlton in December 2025, this artwork is composed of fifteen unique pieces. Designed to stand alone or function as a cohesive ensemble, the murals depict distinct elements of the region, each centered around the iconic towns of the Eastern Townships. Together, these fragments form a poetic textile map, inviting contemplation and a sense of place.
Raw Appliqué Technique
The shapes are hand-cut and applied directly onto the background using a raw appliqué method. The edges are left exposed, allowing the fabric to evolve over time. Each piece is then free-motion quilted by hand, adding texture and a more nuanced reading of the different areas.
