Victoria artist Beverly Hancock used to paint a painting and be done. But now, she cuts it up. And then, she weaves it into something new.
In February, another ‘repurposed’ artist from Victoria, driftwood sculptor Tanya Bub, was at an international exposition of repurposed art in Qatar called the Tadweer Art Exhibition. The exhibit merged the worlds of art and environmental consciousness, stated to be a testament to Qatar’s commitment to sustainability.
She also does embroidery, but, “It’s not pretty embroidery. I guess I don’t do pretty very well. Or, I don’t find it pretty.” “I think with the way climate change is going, there will be more and more emphasis on, what are we using? What are we doing to the environment?” Edmondson said.
