Tactile Work

SHED Chetwyn Farms invites you to Closson Chase Vineyards on Friday September 13th, 2024 from 5:30-7:30 PM for the Opening night of TACTILE WORK, a joint exhibition and pop-up of textile artist Tania Love (Toronto), and ceramic artist Andrea Piller (Prince Edward County).

Presented within the distinctive Closson Chase Vineyards tasting room, in conjunction with Chetwyn Farms, the exhibition will engage the senses with unique ceramic works by Andrea Piller and flowing, naturally dyed textiles by Tania Love.

Dialogue with the artists about inspirations, connection with natural materials and processes on Saturday, September 14th (11 AM – 4 PM) when Andrea Piller will be present, and on Sunday, September 15th (11 AM – 2 PM), when Tania Love will be present.

Andrea Piller’s work is captivated by the shifting seasons, and the land, sky and shorelines that surround Prince Edward County. Nature, the magnificent model is redefined and celebrated in her clay sculptures and vessels. Reverence, process and transformation; impetus for further possibilities. Her work is part of numerous collections including The Gardiner Museum, The Canadian Clay and Glass Museum, and Burlington Art Gallery. She graduated from Ontario College of Art and Design.

Tania Love’s work has evolved as a response to place, seasonality and natural forms. She engages in a process centred use of diverse materials including plant based inks, dyes and mineral pigments. Her work invites slower rhythms and a relationship with natural cycles. A graduate of Fine Arts from the University of Guelph, she is a recipient of numerous grants, international residencies and has exhibited within Canada and abroad.
