Emotions of Fibre: Works by Erin Davis at the RDAC Community Gallery

May 2, 2024 | 4:43 PM

Red Deer Arts Council is pleased to present Emotions of Fibre: Artworks by Erin Davis held in the Community Gallery from April 18 to May 20, 2024.

Erin Davis is inspired by the rich tapestries of Albertas landscapes, wildlife, and people. Her unique approach of incorporating local fibres into her pieces showcases the essence and vitality of the fibre community in each piece she creates.

Erins artistic journey began with a passion for exploring the raw materials that surrounded her. Through continuous experimentation she honed her own unique techniques, mastering the art of transforming fibres into unconventional, thought provoking works of art. The resulting artwork blends texture, colour, and form to creating a visual feast for the senses.

Fibre in its nature is very tactile and ruminating. Almost everyone remembers someone or knows one who they’ve had a deeper connection to through a fibre art. Remembering a prairie rainstorm and how it felt to the viewer, feeling the gentle question in each piece and interpreting their own emotions. Erin Davis’ exhibition of fibre arts allows viewers to feel that gentle connection.

First Friday Red Deer Opening: May 3 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm with the artist in attendance.
