Hooking Goes Pop
An Exhibition by Terri Whetstone & Rose Wilson
February 26th - March 15th
This exhibition brings together two visual artists working with rug hooking, exploring
contemporary approaches through technique, materials, and personal narrative as
subject matter.
Rug hooking, and fibre arts in general, has seen a surge in popularity in recent years,
driven by people’s search for activities during the Covid pandemic and also by the
development of new tools and novel materials. This exhibition highlights the emergence
of new themes and ideas being expressed through rug hooking that go beyond the
traditional motifs so often seen in our community. It seeks to encourage individual
exploration of the medium as a form of self-expression and narrative (pictorial)
story-telling.
The exhibition comprises both graphic and text-based work, which compliment each
other in their wry humour while riffing on mass culture. The work can be considered
contemporary Pop Art in both its content and its visual impact; and thoroughly
Post-Modern in its tongue-in-cheek, confrontational self-awareness of style. Rose’s
work is reminiscent of both tattoo art and comic book illustration, while Terri’s text-based
work with stylized consideration for the “right” font to match the word plays with
expectations of appropriate language and the written word.
The exhibition concept and curation is Terri Whetstone’s. Terri is a visual artist, former
arts administrator, and arts volunteer. Although she has participated in numerous group
exhibitions this is her first time curating an exhibition. Terri’s motivation to present this
exhibition arises from her passion to share innovative and exciting approaches that
utilize rug hooking as a contemporary art form with her community, with the hopes of
fostering the enthusiasm she and the second artist, Rose Wilson, feel for the medium.
Terri hopes the exhibition will inspire others to approach rug hooking in ways that push
boundaries and move this traditional craft beyond the use of commercial and repeated
patterns, to a contemporary, creative exploration of the personal and the political in
artmaking.

The Spoken Landscape
An Exhibition by Lorna Mulligan
February 12th - 22nd
This exhibition features work that talks about landscape with black ink, words, gestural mark making, and flowing colours. The lyrical imagery wavers between the suggestion of a real place and the constant reminder of the actual painted surface.
Working at the intersection of materiality and memory, my paintings are often about unpredictable edges, incorporating the immediacy of watercolour, hand-ground pigments, and black ink. I’m motivated by observation, visual responses, and the contemplative joy of walking through the coastal landscape.
I tend to work in series, mostly on paper, including handmade paper. Gestural brushwork and water intermingle in my paintings, with written text woven in and around like ambulatory thoughts. These are mostly quiet, yet graphic paintings, about this place where I now live.

Grounded in the Lost and Found
An exhibition by Audrey Nicoll
July 25th to August 17th
This series of drawings is a quiet, personal response to upheaval—both global and deeply personal. Rooted in childhood rituals of wandering, collecting, and observing the natural world, these works reflect on the fragile, fleeting nature of life. Created after a time of absence and healing, each drawing is a meditation on decay, resilience, and the grounding act of making—where memory, nature, and meaning meet in stillness.
