Interwoven experiences of hope and happenstance are intricately detailed in this collection of chiaruscuro drawings. Sentimental musings on fate as a woven fabric of thread informs the repeated symbolism. Conceptualised at a personal crossroad- to become a teacher, or to pursue a career in the arts- this collection captures the emotional tapestry of an identity lost and forged anew.

“It's a rarity to see an artist who has superb technical skills and sublime control of their chosen medium who can produce artworks and compositions that connect on an emotional level. 2021 Lethbridge Small-Scale Art Award Winner, Summer Aldis, has this gift, and the Gallery is thrilled to present her first solo exhibition.”
