Loretta Faveri, Canadian fibre artist, dancer
​Professional CV, click here.
I am a fibre artists and dancer based in Toronto and Grey County.  After graduating from OCADU’s Material Art and Design program in 2012, I spent several years continuing my thesis work (SOMO) which involved wearable sensors that turn body movement into music. While I enjoyed collaborating with the dance community and creative engineers, I was longing to return to my low-tech roots working with fibre.  I now creates large and small scale paper tapestries.

My work is about forgiveness and letting go of past shame. I tear through “rejected” art pieces, then stitch them back together to symbolize healing and new beginnings.  I continue to unearth the past, now celebrating the importance of family and creating legacy.
