The universal languaje of Textiles is painstakingly explored by intertwining the weft threads from a piece of antique Hungarian linen, natural fibres from folk Textiles were woven in; creating a connection between old and new. An exaggerated fringe drawns attention to materiality and process. With each thread, colour, and pattern, the reworking of old linen conveys a story about the mutually beneficial cultural exchange of materials and techniques. Heidi Friesen, joven artesana multidisciplinar afincada en Toronto, experimentó con el diseño gráfico, la fotografía y el arte de la representación antes de encontrar su lugar entre las telas. Su trabajo examina los sistemas naturales como un modelo y una metáfora de la producción ética y las relaciones interculturales.
