Mother and Daughter
Discover the Harmony of Textile Art and Fine Photography: A collaborative showcase of Stephanie Ford Forrester and her daughter Corin Ford Forrester.
Stephanie's mastery unfolds in every stitch as she crafts intricate pieces using raw silks, batiks, and fine cottons. Her exploration extends to painting on fabric with liquid dyes, resulting in exquisite hand-worked creations that resonate with elegance and depth. With a legacy spanning 23 years as part of the Art Gallery of Peterborough’s Kawartha Autumn Studio tour, Stephanie's artistry continues to mesmerize and inspire.
Drawing inspiration from serene wilderness landscapes across Ontario, Corin's photographic vision captures the essence of nature's beauty. Through digital alchemy akin to painting with a brush, she weaves a tapestry of imagery, blending multiple photographs to evoke unexpected juxtapositions and intricate patterns. Central to her work is the poignant reflection on the significance of the natural world, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in moments of contemplation and wonder.
