I was lucky enough to have Presbyterian Connection – the quarterly publication of The
Presbyterian Church in Canada – ask me to write an op ed piece about Stitched Glass, my
installation of three hand-knit tapestries in the shape of stained glass windows, looking at
the commonalities and differences of the Abrahamic faiths.
They asked me to do this because I am on my last segment of the project’s third and final
tapestry (pretty exciting stuff, because it’s taken me 15 years of knitting to get here), and
also because I am in the midst of preparing, with my wife Claire Ross Dunn and the
wonderful folk at Ergo Arts Theatre, to premiere a one-act play called The Knitting
Pilgrim that will accompany the Stitched Glass exhibition on tour. That will all be
happening soon.
So I’m sharing the Presbyterian Connection piece. Happy reading. And if you’re curious
about how to book the play and the exhibit of the textile work, please click here.
