FOCUS ON FIBRE ART BIENNIAL COMPETITION 2010 'GREEN'

Focus on Fibre Art Association
Edmonton, Alberta - Canada


'Green', it's not just a colour. It represents a lot of things. It's spring. It's wood nymphs and water sprites on the forest floor. It's the green of Ireland. It's little green men from Mars. It's jealousy. It's hope and joy. It's nature and growth and so much more. It's Robin Hood and his merry men. It's immaturity, it's youth. It's an ecological movement and a political party. It's the heart chakra from Asian shores. It's nature, regeneration and the renewal of life. It's the go in a traffic light. Green symbolized so many ideas in different times and places of the world. What does green bring to your mind? Mix a little blue and yellow together and show us your version of 'Green'.
