Mosaic Artists of Canada Exhibit

My Victorian Corset represents the physical and social confinements placed on women throughout history. But it is tearing at the back as women break free of traditions.
Family Ties shows my English and Irish roots, along with my present Canadian heritage. The black mosaic ribbons are the ties that connect us together, the roots that hold us to the past, but also reach up to the present. The concept of this corset came from my background as a costume maker; researching, cutting patterns, and sewing garments.
