Barb Hunt is a multidisciplinary textile artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba now based in Courtenay, British Columbia. Her art has contrasted knitting as a warming, protective art, against the violence of war. Through her tactile work, Hunt explores domesticity, mourning rituals, the natural world, and the colour pink. A feminist and craftivist, Hunt uses materials, processes, and colours traditionally associated with femininity to bring new context and care to objects of war and adds legitimacy to tasks associated with women's work.
