Andrée Fredette Saturna Island Andrée's website Since moving to a sparsely populated island on the West Coast of Canada in 2005, I have spent a lot of time paying attention to details: the quality of the light on the water, the big sky in front of my house and its constantly changing cloud patterns, the incredible height of the fir trees, the countless shades of green everywhere and the lacelike effect of water on the sandstone. I create contemporary wall pieces from hand-dyed or painted cottons, and try to interpret the patterns and shapes I notice around me. For me, stitching is another form of adding my mark to each piece and I revel in repetitive motifs drawn from nature. |
