The exhibition "Reflections of Ourselves"
runs September 16 to December 18.
It is a collaborative art project spearheaded by textile artist Tracey Lawko. The 'tree' in the image is approximately 9 feet tall and features over 100 maple 'leaves'. Each leaf was constructed by a different artist, and features imagery representative of that artist's unique cultural background. Tracey has also filled out the tree with dozens of additional quilted leaves. It really is a lovely piece. Here is a link to a video about the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4uvUCvA0_Y
