Fibre Art Network

Dates: October 30th - December 19th

‘Resist’ explores resist techniques while preserving the unique individualistic style of each artist. Resist – an art technique that uses several layers to expose or define a design in negative space. Resistant substances are applied as a coating to protect a surface during some process, for example: prevent dye adhering. Resist can be artistic, positive, negative, frightening or enlightening…..to stand firm or hold out (against), not yield (to), fight (against). To resist something such as change – you refuse to accept it and try to prevent it…..resist temptation of…..couldn’t resist teasing or laughing at……

Resist is an exhibition of fibre art created by Fibre Art Network (FAN), a collective of western Canadian artists committed to promoting fibre as an art form and each other as artists. Our membership includes emerging fibre artists, teachers, authors and judges, many of whom have been recognized nationally and internationally for their work.

FAN was inaugurated in 1998 and has mounted exhibitions since 2000, producing one or two new exhibits every year. These exhibitions have been shown nationally and internationally with several currently available to travel.
