The Fitzroy St. Tiny Art Gallery and Curator Monica Lacey are pleased to partner with The Guild and Latchkey Boiz Art in a new tiny art gallery space in the front window of The Guild at 111 Queen Street in Charlottetown.
The North Nook Gallery is pleased to present an exhibit of work by Rilla Marshall entitled, Dogwood Collum, on view from June 28th to August 7th, 2025 at the Guild.
About the exhibit:
Bringing attention to foraged and local plant materials, the artist’s current weaving practice is an investigation of structure, form, texture, and color through personal engagement with their immediate landscape. Using red dogwood, willow, iris stalks, and dandelion stems—plant materials found in ditches or as detritus in gardens—this practice brings focus to the plants that grow in PEI ecosystems. Taking an experimental approach to the material properties of foraged plants and the seasonal cycles of growth and decomposition, the resulting forms are structural, geometric, and organic.
About the artist:
Since graduating from NSCAD University with a BFA in Textiles in 2004, Rilla Marshall’s textile artwork has been exhibited in group and solo shows in Canada, UK, and Japan. She has received numerous grants for the creation and exhibition of artwork, and her work is in various public collections, including the Prince Edward Island Art Bank, Global Affairs Canada Visual Arts Collection (GAC VAC), as well as private collections in Canada, US, UK, and Switzerland. Her woven artwork is currently on exhibit at the Canadian High Commission in Dhaka, Bangledesh as part of the GAC VAC.
