Fibre artist Diane Roy takes visitors on a journey under the sea with her new show at the Gallery at Queen’s Park.
The Arts Council of New Westminster’s gallery presents Allegory of Our Seas II from May 2 to 20 at the gallery. An opening reception is set for Wednesday, May 2 from 6 to 8 p.m. An artist talk is on Sunday, May 6 from 3 to 4 p.m.
Roy uses a variety of knots, bends, weaving and crochet to produce marine formations.
“The mystical characters seen in the deep and shallow waters steer Roy’s practice and have deepened her concern for the fate of our oceans and the creatures that inhabit them,” a press release says. “Her material exploration utilizes recycled materials to promote the idea of reusing in the process of art making, while raising awareness for our natural world.”
The gallery is open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m., and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. See www.artscouncilnewwest.org.
