Inspiration

Toile de Jouy is a traditional French fabric that features monochromatic scenes printed in a single colour against a white background, usually depicting traditional bucolic scenes. Donna Wilson’s interpretation of this timeless fabric is Set the Scene, a visual narrative that offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Fogo Island.

Wilson’s design includes images of Fogo Island wildlife; longliner and punt boats – both integral to the island’s fishing economy; iconic buildings like the Fisherman’s Union Trading Company Museum, located in the community of Seldom, and Fogo Island Arts’ Long Studio, located in Joe Batt’s Arm; and the bronzed statue of the Great Auk, a memorial sculptureb for the extinct bird.
