This project explores a variety of textile processes that women have historically advanced, such as embroidery, mending, sewing, crocheting and more recently, needle felting, through the creation of tapestries made of up-cycled textiles.
Elizabeth Babyn holds a B.F.A. (2005) from OCAD and a M.F.A. (2011) from USASK. She worked and taught as an artist in Caledon (OT) before moving to Saskatoon in 2011.
