Hiving Quilt is a collaborative installation with
Halifax ceramist Neil Forrest. Developed for the Habourfront exhibition
Duologue, the installation is a fabric of images attached to the
gallery wall. A tiled quilt of digital drawings on transclucent
mylar generate a field of interconnected biomorphic elements. A
delicate suspension of stainless steel wires allows the quilt to
float off the wall surface and assume its own billowing topography.
Copper and steel pins and sutures at the overlapping sheets reveal
the handcrafted and piecework nature of the assembly.
