This series of six woolen quilts was created for the Chateauguay Foyer, a home for the elderly and infirm. Each leaf silhouette represents a tree that grows in the vicinity of the home.

It was common for women in the early 19^th century to study the shapes of leaves in order to plan their quilts. With Herbier I followed their lead. In much of my work I am inspired both by plants in nature as well as those depicted in printed textiles.

Herbier was produced with support from the Secretariat for the Integration of Art in Architecture, Québec.
