Nancy Cole, an artist based in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaw People uses the French knot embroidery stitch to explore themes of legacy, abandonment, and nostalgia. Her work balances embroidery and narrative. Trained as a journalist and photographer, she transitioned to thread art in her search for her visual voice. Her work is a tedious, meditative process. The resulting artworks are both unsettling and beautiful. Through her unique fusion of mediums, Cole connects our history with the fragility and resilience of the human spirit
