Cityscapes: Montreal & Quebec

As with all my urban landscapes, I am inspired by the interlocking shapes of the buildings and the dynamic diagonals of the street view. Some of these are simple drawings, done with heavy thread on hand-dyed cotton. Others are collages of cotton shapes, with a stitched drawing superimposed on them. Some have detail added with paint or ink.
