"West Coast Memories" commemorates the huge<br />
Douglas Fir stumps found in the rain forests of<br />
Vancouver Island. Yesterday's giant trees are now<br />
stumps. However, life springs from decay and today<br />
the stumps provide a nursery for new plants, mosses,<br />
and saplings. Tomorrow the saplings will grow,<br />
and there could be giant trees again.<br />
New Zealand Bush, 2008<br />
Phillida Hargreaves (Kingston, ON)<br />
Fibre; painted and dyed, distressed, crocheted, appliquéd, hand embroidered,<br />
free motion machine stitched. 26" x 40"<br />
A rainforest is timeless! Yesterday, today and tomorrow<br />
coexist, in a mixture of mature trees, colonizing<br />
plants,rotting logs,and new saplings.This is particularly<br />
true in New Zealand, where trees as old as<br />
1000 years live side by side with plants that last a<br />
single season. Weaving by Janet Whittam; hand spun<br />
yarns by Elizabeth Abbott.
