Encounters & Departures: Tapestries of Peter Harris and Line Dufour







The exhibit of our tapestries was a visually stimulating array of textures, colors, shapes and forms. The tapestry exhibit was in conjunction with a ceramic exhbit, Seduced by Clay, the pieces on loan from the Burlington Arts Centre collection. Lisa Daniels, the curator and director of Gallery Lambton, is teaming with dynamic, enthusisastic , and unbiased though discriminating views of art and fine craft. Without question she is the hub of the cultural excitement happening in Sarnia. I felt that our tapestries were displayed in an unparalleled dynamic fashion. In addition, it is not often that we find such ample space to display our work.

The opening reception took place March 7 2008 and was incredibly well attended by many prominent and respected citizens of Sarnia. The attendees gave the artists as well as the gallery staff much praise for how compelling the exhbit was. I want to thank all of the staff - Lisa, Dave, Holly, and Guy for all their support, and for doing such a wonderful job on the show.
