About the artist

D.F. Wanner

Dwayne Wanner creates large-scale textile wall works for architectural interiors that explore atmosphere, surface, memory, and material presence.

Working primarily in stitched and layered fibre, his pieces draw from northern landscapes, weathered surfaces, water, stone, and quilted collages inspired by ancient fabric traditions. Each work is developed slowly through processes of dyeing, stitching, cutting, layering, and reconstruction.

Drawing from his experience as a manufacturer, Wanner approaches textile with both structural discipline and improvisational freedom. The resulting works balance precision with intuition — combining the physical softness of cloth with the visual weight of architecture.

Rather than functioning simply as decorative objects, these works are intended to inhabit space, responding to scale, proportion, light, and the emotional character of the wall itself.

Selected works may be commissioned for residential, corporate, and architectural interiors.

Based in Ontario, Canada, Wanner’s work has been exhibited in galleries and textile exhibitions across North America and is held in private collections.
