Amanda McCavour

Amanda McCavour is a Toronto-based artist who uses a sewing machine to create thread drawings and installations. She is interested in thread’s assumed vulnerability, its ability to unravel, and its strength when it is sewn together.  Through an exploration of line and its 2 and 3-d implications, stitch is used in her artwork to explore various concepts such as connections to home, the fibers of the body and more formal considerations of thread’s accumulative presence.

McCavour holds a BFA from York University and MFA in Fibers and Material Studies at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, PA. She shows her work in galleries nationally and internationally.
