Unwoven Strands: A Visual Study of Microfibers
March 8 @ 8:00 am – March 29 @ 5:00 pm

“Unwoven Strands A Visual Study of Microfibers,” 2023.
Hart House’s Talking Walls provides a venue for our artist-in-residence Emily Chudnovsky’s newest series of artworks; Felt One, Felt Two, and Felt Three, made using sheep’s wool, invasive grapevines, and microfibers. Microfibers are tiny strands of microplastic that often end up in waterways.
Inspired by our pollution prevention project, Divert and Capture, this exhibition draws a connection between invasive species and plastic pollution – a synthetic invasive ‘species’ in our environment. The Felt Pieces also explore some of the possibilities that the small but pervasive material might hold.
Unwoven Strands is on display March 8 – 29.
