Beverley Reid is a multi-media artist who
primarily uses fabric in her work. The hangings are hand
appliquéd and hand quilted with a small amount of machine
piecing, frequently painted with commercial dyes, chlorine and
paint. Some recent works are fabric collages with drawing
and painting which create microscopic portraits of the inner
structure of rocks, the heart of stone and the strata
of the earth.
In part she derives her inspiration through the continued development
and maintenance of her extensive garden. Of her work and
its relationship to her garden she states, My work represents
events in the garden, and are a journey through life, death,
decay, rebirth, and especially of beauty and new beginnings -
of constant change, much like the seasons.
She has recently begun exhibiting her works
again after many years of work in her studio. She continues
to work at her home and studio at Christina Lake, British Columbia. |
