About
Welsh-Canadian artist Anne Steves invites us to reflect on the universal and intimate dilemmas of life, loss, and connection – avian and otherwise – through her exhibition Do you whisper a tiny “I’m sorry”. Featuring tufted wool rugs, photographs, and her own written reflections, she transforms images of lifeless birds – her own and those gleaned from friends both near and online – into large, human-scale artworks. As children, we are admonished not to touch dead animals. Steves, however, seeks connection, merging her own body with those of the birds through safe and beautiful surrogates, mirroring their final poses in her photography, attempting to enter their world. Her work invites gallery visitors to join her in interacting with these tactile proxies, absorbing the words and images presented and sitting with the feelings and thoughts that emerge.
The C2 Centre for Craft is open 12-4 Wed-Sat for viewing of this exhibition, with no cost for admission

Organizer
Manitoba Craft Council
The Manitoba Craft Council is for people who love contemporary craft: professional artists and artisans, collectors and connoisseurs, DIYers and armchair enthusiasts. It’s for people who value the originality and quality of the handmade, who find meaning in making. It’s for the dreamers and schemers who seek to reinterpret the material and cultural traditions of the past through a contemporary lens. It’s for people who have to forge, carve, weave, fold, sculpt, knit. And for their friends and supporters. It’s for you. See, smell, touch, explore the myriad expressions of contemporary craft in Manitoba and be part of a community that is shaped, motivated, and defined by its love of craft.
