Spring On My Mind
Hongru Ren, Medical Student
University of Manitoba
"Spring is a time of changes: snow melting, flowers blooming, and students graduating. I made this as a gift to a friend who heading to a different city for residency. I am coping with the changes that have already happened due to the Covid-19 pandemic and preparing for the changes that will happen when I start residency."
Heroes in Stitches
Karena Ryan, textile artist and teacher
Tuam, West Ireland
​
Karena is creating stitched portraits of nurses and doctors from hospitals nationwide, Italy, the UK, and America onto old uniforms and scrubs. It is her way of honouring the heroic work of health care workers during the corona virus pandemic.
What started with one textile portrait of a friend, a nurse in Mayo General Hospital has led to a growing collection of up to fifty images of nurses and doctors in their PPE that will be reproduced in textile form.
She has been fundraising for non-profit Heroes Aid (helping secure PPE for Frontline workers) and has been hand stitching embroidery hoops with a positive message.
(With over 400 euro raised so far for Heroes Aid). https://www.heroes-aid.com/

"This piece is a paper cutout loosely based on scientific diagrams of the structure of SARS-CoV-2. It was made by cutting out roughly 2500-3000 pieces from a single sheet of black paper. The patterns were designed to create a cryptographic quality representing the international research community's effort to 'decipher' the behaviour of this novel virus, and treatments for COVID-19."
