Drawing
upon ancient traditions of weaving, Marni Martin creates handwoven tapestries
and wearable art. Rich hand-dyed colours and sensual fibres are central
in the creation of each piece. Whether it is a woven birch limb stretching
over a red winter landscape or light dancing on the hand-dyed yarns, each
reflect Marni's attention to her surrounding environment. This is evident
in much of Marni's tapestry work as it embodies the lines and rhythms of
the natural world. Texture, light and colour have always played important
roles in Marni's work whether it is aesthetic or metaphoric.
Marni was introduced to fibre art while completing her Bachelor of Fine Art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. After completing her degree Marni returned to Huntsville to start a studio and there she continues exploring the diverse weaving and dyeing techniques that inspired her. Marni is a participant on the Muskoka Autumn Studio Tour and exhibits her work with galleries in the area.
