Linda Wallace interprets interface as an exploration of the liminal space between light and dark.

David Stokes characterizes tapestry weaving as a slow process in which I enjoy the subtle effect that hatching and blending can bring to a work and the wonderful tactile quality of the cotton warp and worsted weft used. The artist interprets interface as the contemplation of human emotion. Part of INTERFACE, an exhibition of small-format tapestries by 30 artists, 15 from Canada and 15 from England.

Lin Squires interprets interface as the filter for sensing the natural world, retaining the essence, discarding the surplus. The concept for this tapestry came from a photograph the artist took in some woodlands, which then she simplified, limiting the colours and arranging them in a pattern on the loom.
