Artist Statement
This tapestry makes visible the tacit expressions of people across Canada working on threading environmental justice and socio-spatial tools and the researcher's role in synthesizing these narratives. The creation process experimented with the potentialities of analyzing and translating knowledge in a qualitative study, utilizing an arts-integrated methodology and emergent weaving.
