GRANT HEAPS
TORONTO, ONTARIO

Resident Artist, August 2 - August 19 2013

Grant has been the assistant wardrobe coordinator for The National Ballet Of Canada for the last twenty years.  His on-going and never-ending project is making a series of non-functional quilts which tell the story of the emotional life of a person watching a theatrical production.  During his residency, he worked on small tedious panels that make up one of the massive quilts in this series.  He also contributed his handiwork to the local fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness by altering a bra to auction.
