I am a Canadian textile artist in Calgary, Alberta. As textile artists, we connect and are connected to communities larger than our Selves, or our immediate environs. We encapsulate culture, technique, history and innovation every time we touch cloth.

Definitely praying for rain – and lots of it, along with safety for the brave men and women who are risking their lives to fight the fires.

How appropriate the “roots” are for these folks – it is something each family in those communities will be doing once the fires are out….setting down roots….all historical roots having been incinerated for so many. I pray that the rains received here in western Montana yesterday will find their way up to Alberta.
