Betty Goodwin
Canadian, born 1923

Vest, 1972
Graphite, watercolour, and oil paint with collage of cloth, feathers,
leaves, flowers, and hair on wove paper
Gift of Janet Adaskin, Gibsons, British Columbia, 2004

Betty Goodwin’s vests are among her most memorable works. A section of a half-sewn vest is extended into a drawn area and topped by a delicate pile of feathers, leaves, flowers, and hair. These dainty objects elegantly lighten the heavy fabric of the piece of vest.
