there is always thread - New fiber and mixed media works by Melanie Wesley

Refreshments and live music by Woodshed Havoc & Sons of Mel.
Also featuring a presentation of wearable art collaborations with six Winnipeg artists:
Dawn Chaput
Tara Davis
Dany Reede
Kelly Ruth
Tammy Sutherland
Mark Yuill

Thread has wound its way into every aspect of my life and work. At first, thread was merely used to stitch fabrics together.  Thread is becoming increasingly paramount in the way I use it to express concepts in my work. Ripping, cutting and stitching are processes that satisfy a deep need to destroy, expose and create my own tale of beauty.
