Under the artistic direction of Mary Faught, the Rideau Canal Festival commissioned ten of us to work with the theme of Connections. Our temporary art installations became a part of the Confederation Park in a huge outdoor gallery from July 28 - August 1. My living / dying tapestry, 'like veins across heart' incorporated the living embroidery of plant matter across burlap. Centering around the Rideau, Outaouais and Gatineau waterways, it maps out the connections between the Ottawa/Gatineau region's major arteries. It was a great collection of temporary public works, and we hope it returns next year!
