Project Description

This project touched me as in Vancouver we have had a terrible occurrence of the missing women of the downtown Eastside as well as the ongoing occurrences in the northern area of the province with the “Highway of Tears” and the mystery of how these women disappeared.

Poppies always feel so bright and fragile when you find them in a meadow. They are associated in my mind with John McRae’s poem which he wrote in WWI.

I used silk threads and silk fabric on ultrasuede backing.
