Pattern and Form

Curated by

Sally Frater

Drawing on the Art Gallery of Guelph’s permanent collection, Pattern and Form highlights wall hangings created by textile artists Marjorie Agluvak, Irene Avaalaaqiaq, Mary Tookanachiak, and Marion Tuu’luq. Showcasing the stylistic turns that mark each of their respective practices, the installation underscores the artists’ shared engagement with medium, myth, and the natural world in ways that blur the boundaries between the real and imagined.

Image detail: Irene Avaalaaqiaq, Fighting Women, 2004, wool duffle and felt, cotton embroidery thread. Purchased with funds raised by the Art Centre Volunteers and with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisition Assistance Program, 2005, Macdonald Stewart Art Centre Collection at the Art Gallery of Guelph
