Fabric of Time, 2008<br />

Nancy Yule (Cambridge, ON)<br />

Fibre art; free-motion quilted. 24" x 24" x 18"<br />

To create a sense of time progressing I've utilized one<br />

of the earliest animation devices: the zoetrope, invented<br />

by William Horner in 1834. Each frame is an individual<br />

quilt. <strong>The</strong>re are eight frames to depict a raven in<br />

flight. According to some native cultures the raven<br />

made the Earth, the heavens and all living things.<br />

I invite you to take the zoetrope for a spin and witness<br />

the 'Fabric of Time' in motion. Which is the past,<br />

present or future, or are they happening simultaneously?<br />

Zoetrope designed and built by Rob Yule and<br />

Glen Cross.<br />
