Lorraine Pritchard's "Dream of Fields" installation of pillows made from washi paper

The above room-sized floor installation by Lorraine Pritchard, "Dream of Fields", has been exhibited on several occasions in the last few years, including the Canadian Embassy in Japan, the Japan Foundation in Toronto and ArtsSutton in the English Townships of Quebec. The pillows are made from Japanese handmade paper (washi) on which Pritchard has created mixed media paintings. The work, like other Pritchard works, draws on her childhood growing up amidst the patterned fields of the Canadian Prairies. Stunning and serene in equal parts. Inquiries welcome.
