Lindsay Sutton is an artist based in Edmonton, AB. Shortly after Lindsay was diagnosed with cancer in 2017, she began a new process of drawing, sewing, quilting, and weaving. Her manual work has been therapeutic, both in its repetitive, contemplative process, as well as in its comforting domestic functionality. As objects of healing, memory, legacy, and community, Lindsay’s quilts are also markers of time and place—complex reflections of our embeddedness in our landscapes and bodies. In this exhibition, Badlands Art Department presents Lindsay’s first quilt alongside her most recent. The first depicts Corbin BC;          a yearly meeting place and artist residency program since 2005—the latest, the badlands of the Rosebud River valley, where Lindsay has been a recurring artist in residence over the past two years.
