Michelle Sirois-Silver
Victoria, British Columbia
Textile art and the hand hooked surface, exploring ways to integrate traditional techniques with contemporary narratives.
MessageBorn on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Ms. Sirois Silver’s formative years were spent on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
Deeply rooted in traditional techniques, Michelle Sirois Silver’s textile works explore ways to integrate traditional rug hooking and stitch techniques with contemporary narratives. Her hand hooked art often includes unexpected materials such as metal, zippers, hand and machine stitch.
Her art practice also explores abstract fibre and paper collage. She uses machine and hand stitch to both harmonize and decorate the surfaces. Ceramics and soft sculptures are recent editions in her studio.
Ms. Sirois Silver works from her studio in Victoria, Canada. Studio visits by appointment.
