JOANNA ROGERS | Hanging By a Thread: The Illusion of Permanence

Rogers works with textiles, found objects and photographs and with traditional surface design techniques such as hand dying, shibori, and hand weaving. She has lived on Pender Island, part of the traditional lands of the Tsawout First Nation, since 1999. Her current practice is driven primarily by her response to the continuing destruction of the natural environment. She draws on past academic studies in Anthropology and Textile Art History as well as on new research into related contemporary issues. Rogers holds a B.A. in Anthropology from Trent University and an A.F.A in Textile Arts from Capilano University. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions in British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Washington, and in travelling exhibitions across Canada.
