AVAILABLE - Forever Tapestry (8x8x1.75")

Forever Tapestry is a painting inspired by a love for the natural world and for Canada. It features the motif of the maple leaf in warm tones of yellows, rusty oranges, touches of red, and contrasting charcoal. This artwork was built up in many layers. The overall effect is that of textured fabric woven or printed with different kinds of maple leaf.

The story of this piece is both literal and metaphorical. The maple leaf is, of course, a symbol which represents Canada. In Canada, we tend to see our society as a mosaic - or perhaps a tapestry - rather than as a melting pot. Forever Tapestry invites you to consider your place in the ever-changing Canadian culture.
