Article: Fiber Art Now Magazine
In following up on the last post, I am so thrilled to announce that my work has been included in an article in the Spring 2013 Issue of Fiber Art Now Magazine! I am really excited to have had my work included among the work of a number of paper-based artists that I really admire!!!
Article: A Needle Pulling Thread Magazine
Hello All! A couple of new posts to share with you... back in the fall during my insane exhibition schedule I managed to fit in an interview with a couple of magazines about my work. Four months later, the first one has finally arrived in the mail today! Here is an interview I did with Joe Lewis of Fibre Quarterly, for the textile publication A Needle Pulling Thread. The interview includes some of my work, along with the work of one of my favorite teachers Dorie Millerson, and some artists who have been influential to me.
Also in the magazine are some really cute tutorials on how to knit lacey socks and a really pretty beret! For more information, or to find out where you can buy a copy, check out their website here, and have a peek at the article below!

Opening: Winnie Truong, A Slow Immersion
Winnie Truong - A Slow Immersion
@ ESP Gallery, 1086 Queen St. West
February 28th - March 31st
Opening Reception: TONIGHT - Thursday, Feb. 28th 7-10pm
Erin Stump Projects is pleased to present the latest drawing series by Winnie Truong, A Slow Immersion. Truong continues to explore the artist's ongoing relationship with hair beyond beauty and accoutrement and into a direction of a object and environs. Through delicate, labor-intensive drawing, Truong's anomalous subjects examine the possibility of hair as a veil and as an object of comfort, while also remaining a self-consuming and self-inspiring muse. Whether they are comforted or encumbered, swarmed or swaddled, Truong's subjects are visual narratives of the artist's tangible relationship with mark making and the increasingly immersive nature of line and labour in her own practice.
A Slow Immersion examines monumental drawing as a product and physical feat that engrosses both the drawn subject and the viewer in an immense thicket of line and colour.
Winnie Truong lives and works in Toronto, where she received her BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design in the drawing and painting program. Truong is the recipient of numerous awards, including the W.O. Forsythe award, the 401 Richmond Career Launcher prize and the BMO 1st! Art Award for Ontario, which she exhibited at MOCCA. Winnie has exhibited both locally and internationally in galleries across Toronto, LA, Copenhagen and New York where she was featured in the VOLTA, NY Art Fair. Her work can also be found in the collection of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary art in Overland Park, Kansas.

The Artist Project 2013
This past Sunday, I took a much needed break away from the studio and stopped by to check out this year's installment of The Artist Project, on at the Better Living Centre.
As soon as I arrived, I found myself power walking through the dazed crowd to get a look at some of the fresh new works on offer.
I always enjoy going to these types of shows, seeing the work of my friends, meeting some new faces and getting inspired by new artists in the untapped emerging artist section.
A couple of booths that really stood out to me include the work of Anouk Desloges who pierces plexiglass, using it as a surface to create beautiful line-based embroideries, as well as the work of Katie Kehoe who uses drawing and repeating of the word 'And' to build up a series of patterns and textures on both paper and canvas.
I was also really pleased to see that Steven Tippin has continued to make his stunning photograms, which involve directly applying his glass works on photo paper and exposing them to capture the depth and dimension of the works as light refracts through each piece. Below is a selection of images I took from the show, I hope you enjoy!
