Curatorial Statement
Myth Making brought together three artists from Peru, Canada and the USA whose work was creating a new mythology.
Lima, Peru's Maximo Laura's stunning tapestries explored Andean mythology and stories. Peterbough's Faye Jacobs "tree spirit" sculpture combines tree roots with tapestry. Chicago artist Noël Morical's massive wall hangings made of paint chips gave the sense of constructing a universe or cosmic blanket. She created a new piece especially for this exhibition.

Common Thread International Exhibitions
The Common Thread International exhibitions are the flagship shows of the World of Threads Festival. Hundreds of artists from around the world submitted bodies of work, installations or individual pieces to the Festival. Multiple curators from various Oakville and Toronto galleries created exciting exhibitions based on their own unique interests. We bring international contemporary fibre art to Oakville and the Toronto area as well as highlight the strength of our local artists.
