Made in collaboration with nineteen workshop participants, and curator Paige Lauren for the exhibition Craft(y) Revival at OCAD University's Graduate Gallery in 2023. for the presence of nymphs is a community quilt that explores the connections between embroidery and the poisonous plant: lily-of-the-valley, giving space to participants to learn about each individually and together as they stitched their own square for the final quilt. We are thankful for each participant’s curiosity about the land we live upon and openness to share, learn, and try new things. Without them this artwork would not have been possible.
