Meghan Price: Sham

The grid is commonly employed as a stable matrix and fixed standard, but a malleable woven grid is made when its axes are drawn in thread. In the series titled Sham, woven cloth is stretched flat to optically express its pliable nature. Here, plane and fold appear one and the same. 

This series of jacquard weave works will be on view at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto in a public exhibition curated by Melanie Egan.
