A new art exhibit opening at the Amelia Douglas Gallery on Jan. 15 explores the intersection of literary and textile arts by weaving poetry into intricate multimedia tapestries.
The Journey solo exhibition by textile artist Natasha Boškić presents immersive wall hangings that bind many strands of artistic expression together, interlacing beadwork, macrame, crochet, tapestry, light art and even QR codes linking to virtual landscapes. Blending textiles and storytelling, Boškić weaves a world that explores the concepts of travel, displacement and cultural connectivity.
“I see the world as a constant interplay between forces, the exchange of layers of reality that meet and dissolve in time and space,” Boškić said. “I am fascinated with the ways our virtual and physical worlds interact; the wall hangings present fragments of different journeys, both physical and imaginary, telling stories of lost love, friendships and memories.”
Boškić’s loom art has been previously exhibited across the Lower Mainland and the Sunshine Coast, winning first place in the “sculpture and fibre art” category at the 2024 Exhibition of Visual Art at the Surrey Art Gallery. Her multimedia poetry-film projects have been shown at film festivals across North America and Europe. She obtained a PhD in Language and Literacy at UBC, where she serves as Director of Learning Design in the Faculty of Education.
The community is invited to the opening reception of Journey at 4:30pm Jan. 15, at Douglas College’s Amelia Douglas Gallery. The exhibit runs until Feb. 26. Admission is free.
