temporary art Installations

Started in 2019, called at that time “Blending Nature”, is a series of temporary textile art installations appearing sporadically in various outdoor settings to draw attention to the importance of nature.

But it transformed to this: El Manto” (“The Quilt” in English) is a series of temporary outdoor installations of a large (80”x 38”) embroidery piece made from recycled macrame cords and yarns. Much like a mythical being, “El Manto” has appeared momentarily in various regions of British Columbia’s wilderness over the past few years. Like a quilt, “El Manto” represents hope and warmth when there is despair. More than a textile creation, it embodies the spirit of interconnectedness. As it unfurls across the landscape, it invites viewers to pause, reflect, and contemplate the delicate balance between human existence and the natural world.

Every installation is fleeting. The installation does not harm any nature and we leave no trace afterward.
