The artist often creates unique shapes that are sculpted directly on the loom during the weaving process.
T " Paulette-Marie Sauve's project, "Iridescent Marsh", is installed on adjacent walls of the west lobby of the Canadian Pacific Tower. Borrowing from elements of Bauhaus design, she has created irregular triangles of exuberant color, representing her interpretation of the Canadian landscape (Flora growing in marsh areas). Seen from outside, these shapes provide an interesting diagonal play with the horizontal and vertical framework of the Mies van der Roe architecture. The artist's interest in color is evident both in the finished tapestry and in the creative process itself-she made her own dyes in order to achieve a maximum range of color relationships. The technique used is high warp tapestry weaving with a wool weft and cotton warp. The combined weight of all 3 pieces is approximately 113 kilograms, and total production time was ten months." Quote from the TD Centre brochure
"Lieu Sacré" by Paulette-Marie Sauvé, tapestry : 6 x 6 feet, wool, silk, cotton. Woven in the Les Gobelins style, the triangular shape is sculpted directly on the loom.
