In Canada, we spell colour with a u. We also spell labour, favour, honour and neighbour with a u.
 |
| flesh and blood 2007 |
That 'u' could stand for unique, unforgettable, universal, unity, understanding, utopia.
 |
| 2008 |
It could include the unusual, unexpected, unbound, unabashed, unaccounted, uncanny.
 |
| light of the moon 2009 |
We care about the 'u', it makes us unique. We care about the 'you', it brings us together.

What do the Canadian values of diversity and inclusion mean to you?
How does your labour in your favourite medium honour your neighbourhood, your community?
 |
| energy cloth 2011 |
How do you colour yourself into our Canadian culture?

We are looking for artworks that visualize these ideas and that together will give an insightful
perspective on our Canadian cultural identity.

(((Judy))) such a beautiful looking back through your years of blogging
You have captured so well the theme of the proposed "Regional" exhibit. I have yet to figure out whether or not I've something to contribute. But there is time...and for that (as well as for your post) I am thankful!
Now that I am in South Africa, 'u' fills words.
thank you for the years of sharing your work and your insights.
We like 'u' as well in the UK
I enjoyed seeing this retrospective of your work! So beautiful!
THANK YOU, Judy... what an inspiring and beautiful reminder that we as artists have the power and focused intent to share our messages through bold, colourful support in fibre for our beautiful and precious CANADA! Our country is unique and this opportunity to share where each of us lives, raise our families and bring our vision to life in our artwork means more people around the world will come to know Canada and it's peoples more intimately! Your voice resonates throughout the world - in every piece of your artwork. I am just so pleased that you have shared this to encourage our SAQA friends across Canada and beyond.
Take care of "u"...happy late summer!

Thank you Judy. You have inspired me to create an entry. I was really stuck - your retrospective gave me a fresh perspective.
I hope you do not mind that I shared your post with SAQA Atlantic. (I should've asked permission... sorry) (I got excited)
I put this post up to encourage entries. Please share if you think it will inspire others. Thank you Kate xo
