Within walking distance along Queen West is the
Gladstone Hotel and I went there to re-visit the
Hard Twist : Memory exhibition. On the second floor there is a
new show up about painting. One of the several works connected to textiles is this large untitled portrait by
Elizabeth Chan, inspired by low resolution digital imagery.
The frayed grid of texture drew me into the small gallery room where it took up half the wall.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, the works here are beautiful and fascinating, and the grandchildren are joy. xo
these variations of the grid remind me of the work of Chuck Close
The last grid frames the best image of all
I agree with Liz. I like the gallery images very much, but care most about the last one. We miss those boys and their mama, but are so happy they are closer to you.

Thanks for sharing the gallery images. I am so glad that textile techniques seem to have crossed over into the larger discourse of contemporary art. No more ghettoizing. And your grandchildren are beautiful.
Thanks Judy, I have been meaning to drop by there and you have given me that last PUSH.
