The Grand National : Reflections of Canada

"The artists who share their personal quilted Reflection.J of Canada in this inaugural Grano NationaL exhibition in 2003, have truly 'thrown down the gauntlet' to painters of traditional schools of landscape art. Clearly moved and inspired by their natural surroundings, they have artfully employed a full spectrum of creative tools and techniques to capture not only the essence of Canada's diverse topography but also the many moods, memories and moments of magic these landscapes evoke and preserve. Through these quilts we travel to private and intimate places, or find ourselves centred in familiar surroundings -in calendar-perfect, Canadian settings. We discover the picturesque outports of Newfoundland, their flakes and shanties standing expectant in the early spring sunlight; we linger on the shores of Fundy as the cold, grey fog rolls in, softening reality to abstraction; we stand knee-deep in a prairie wheat field marvelling at the infinite abundance of time and space, the "continuous flow of now"; we experience the awe-inspiring drama of a Nunavut Aurora, the welcoming brightness of a Chinook Arch in the foothills of Alberta, the promise of a "Group of Seven" sunset in Ontario cottage country. Reflection/ artists have truly elevated the genre of the landscape quilt, demonstrating once-and-for-aU, the astonishing versatility of the fabric medium and its unique ability to imitate and interpret the beauty and wonder of nature." -- Susan Burke, Allan MacKay, page 8
