Peggy is very much ensconced in the craft world, and her practice is largely focused on producing wearables. However, I've always been impressed by her strongly sculptural sensibilities, and was glad to provide her with the opportunity to explore her "other side" with this show. It is interesting how such similar ideas can arise from two artists with very different creative processes. I hope Peggy will continue to develop the nonfunctional, sculptural aspect of her artistic practice.A.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05653105421351935665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823592064465420015.post-89864603259359301732010-03-01T21:50:09.589-05:002010-03-01T21:50:09.589-05:00Interesting...it reminds me of an art installation...Interesting...it reminds me of an art installation from Moma ....<br />http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/projects/projects81/81_current.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823592064465420015.post-55726122223963170242009-11-23T12:02:55.997-05:002009-11-23T12:02:55.997-05:00Hi!

I just met Peggy at a local art/craft show called Harvest of Christmas Delights in Welcome, Ontario (so quaint!).<br />Seeing this post gives me even more of an appreciation of what she does - stunning gallery showcase!<br />Also, I hope it's okay that I linked to this post via my own blog entry on the Harvest show, so that people can see more of what Peggy creates. <br />~carena blog about the little thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595148379915818410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823592064465420015.post-81830058026398783872009-04-07T14:40:00.000-04:002009-04-07T14:40:00.000-04:00Thank you for your comment, Claire.

Most of them are merino or cashmere, and she tells me they are becoming harder and harder to find. The gorgeously colourful silk lace pieces are made by free-stitching with a machine onto a water soluble membrane. The membrane holds everything in place until the piece is finished, at which point it is carefully washed out.

They are oh so colourful I can imagina a great big curtain of them with nice golden sunlight shining through. The webby one reminds me of something I'd expect to find in a technicolour version of Edward Scissor hands! Tim Burton and Peggy should TOTALLY team up!Claire Bearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823592064465420015.post-28237780901611462722009-04-04T13:58:00.000-04:002009-04-04T13:58:00.000-04:00Thank you, Anonymous.

If I had more wall or storage space it would (maybe will, whether or no?)fill space and continue to change how I see again and again. Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
