"Soft Motion explores the playfulness and emotional resonance of Lindy Fyfe’s practice.
Using her unique technique of manipulating found fabrics by pulling, shaping and stitching, she
brings together the fundamental elements of visual expression to make a connection with the viewer.
Combining texture, pattern and vivid colour, Fyfe creates harmony and tension, evoking sensory
delight for the viewer."

Thank you to Regina Haggo at the Hamilton Spectator for the article about my work alongside Andrew McPhail and Urmas Lüüs in PIECEWORK at The Assembly Gallery in Hamilton.

My show “Interplay" at 12 Degrees has been extended to March 6th.
Curated by David McIntosh, the show consists of six fabric works made with recycled fabric over canvas.
12 Degrees is located in the lobby of 15 Beverley Street, just north of Queen in Toronto.
I hope you get a chance to see the show!

"12 Degrees is very happy to return to our exhibitions schedule with “Interplay”, a solo show of 6 recent fabric works by artist Lindy Fyfe. From November 7, 2021 to January 30, 2022, Fyfe’s works will be on display at 12 Degrees, Monday through Sunday, 11 am to 5 pm.

Fyfe deconstructs second-hand store electric striped stretch knits into a palette of shards, then upcycles her materials into striking new visions. With her complex, rigorous abstractions and geometric patterning, Fyfe’s assemblages echo a range of textile arts, from homemade quilts to Navajo blankets. She also evokes the non-objective illusions of the 1960’s Op art movement as well as early 20th century revolutionary Soviet artist Lyubov Popova’s pure geometry textiles created for utilitarian and egalitarian purpose, which have recently been repurposed as hi-top sneakers courtesy of MOMA’s gift shop. While Fyfe’s work resonates historically, her dynamic non-objective textile works conjure a simultaneously arresting and contemplative vision of the movements and rhythms of our contemporary lives.

We would like to thank the artist for her generosity in loaning us her work. We also thank JB Arts and Assistant Curator Patricia Pastén for their support. We request that visitors wear masks while in the gallery space. This is the 11th in a series of exhibitions of contemporary artworks at 12 Degrees."

Samara Contemporary is pleased to present Surface Play, an exhibition of work by Canadian textile artists Lindy Fyfe and Ruth Adler, curated by Rafi Ghanaghounian. The exhibition is an exploration of the artists’ respective investigations into textile as painting. Both Adler and Fyfe employ textiles as the chief component in their work, however their approaches contain more similarities than their outcomes.

Fyfe, who works with recycled fabric from thrift shops, breathes new life into discarded materials through harnessing their existing forms and patterns, translating them into new compositions. This creative and intuitive process results in abstract compositions that strongly reference the masters of modernist painting including Rothko and Mondrian, but also hint at the earth’s topographic surfaces.

Adler’s similar creative impulse is reflected in the vibrant assemblages she constructs through material conversations. When looking at the structural appearance of her works, it becomes clear that Adler gains inspiration from anatomy and architecture, among other things. Utilizing textile remnants as well as water-based inks and paints, her pieces reference the aesthetics of fashion and other cultural forms.

Exhibitions runs September 7th - October 13, 2019

Biennial Juried Exhibition of Canadian Fibre Art
September 12 – November 2, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, September 12 at 7:00pm, Queen’s Square
1 North Square, Cambridge Ontario

FREE Art Bus for the opening of Fibreworks 2014, departing from and returning to Toronto.

Fibreworks, now in its 15th edition, is a biennial juried exhibition featuring the work of Canadian artists working in the fibre art medium. The choices are made by authorities in the field - curators, artists, and others knowledgeable about current developments in the medium. This year, Stuart Reid, director/curator at the Rodman Hall Art Centre in St Catharines, and Toronto artist, Hazel Meyer made the selections. The jurors responded to the images submitted along with the statements provided by the artists in order to make their decisions. While various themes may emerge during the selection process, the works are assessed on their individual merit. The Fibreworks 2014 competition attracted over 380 submissions; 24 artists made the final cut and of these, Mylène Boisvert, Marianne Burlew, and Humboldt Magnussen received honourable mentions from the jurors.

Since its beginning in 1986, Fibreworks has provided a context for what is happening now by some of the country’s foremost fibre artists and we are proud to provide the opportunity to share these innovative works with our community. The exhibition is also a frequent source for acquisitions to our growing permanent collection.

Selected artists: Steven Beckly (Toronto, ON), Mylène Boisvert (Montréal, QC), Marianne Burlew (Thornhill, ON), Li Chai (Etobicoke, ON), Anouk Desloges (Toronto, ON), Alyssa Ellis (Calgary, AB), Lindy Fyfe (Toronto, ON), Brette Gabel (Toronto, ON), Marie-José Gustave (Montréal, QC), Lee Henderson (Toronto, ON), Jan Henry (Victoria, BC), Humboldt Magnussen (Toronto, ON), Kate Jackson (Toronto, ON), Karin Jones (Vancouver, BC), Lucie Leroux (Montréal, QC), Daniel Manchego-Badiola (Niagara Falls, ON), April Martin (Montréal, QC), Amanda McCavour (Lambton Shore, ON), Shawna Munro (Winnipeg, MB), Marla Panko (Dundas, ON), Jacqueline Treloar (Toronto, ON), Kathryn Walter (Toronto, ON), Julie René de Cotret + Elinor Whidden (Hillsburgh /Toronto, ON).

Statement:
In this exhibition, Fyfe has created works using fabrics that titillate the senses. Vibrant, playful colours alongside strong, textured, bold patterns are shaped individually by stretching in directions intuitively to create one united piece. It's hard not to see a large bowl of mixed candy or perhaps envision blooming tulip fields in Holland or the well manicured lawn of British gardens or the rice paddies in Asia carved on the side of mountains.

Fyfe’s history in painting and even longer history as a calligrapher are evident in these abstract fabric works. The use of colour and lines guide these complicated shapes to merge smoothly. “My work has always been process-oriented, an intuitive investigation of colour, materials and movement. Improvisation is also an important element, not quite knowing where I’m headed.”  - Lindy Fyfe

About the artist:
Lindy Fyfe was born in Montréal, but for several years her base has been Toronto. Her visual arts education was completed at The Toronto School of Art in 2003. At one time a professional calligrapher, Fyfe now maintains an active studio practice concentrated on drawing, painting, and fabric constructions.

Since 2001 Fyfe’s work has been represented in a number of exhibitions, including at the John B. Aird Gallery, Woolfitt's Gallery, the Etobicoke Civic Centre, ZYPR Gallery, The Burston Gallery, The Art Company, Gallery 744, SPIN Gallery, and the Gladstone Hotel, all in Toronto. In 2010, Fyfe had a solo show at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa.
