Ingrid Boesel: 1943-2018

摘要

IT IS DIFFICULT TO ARTICULATE THE SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT of Ingrid Boesel's contributions to weaving. Ingrid was born in Vienna, coming to Canada at age eight, and eventually moving to Toronto where she first found her passion for handweaving at the Village Weaver on Church Street. After obtaining a BS in biological science, Ingrid worked as a lab assistant with McMaster University plant physiologist Ann Oaks. She eventually met Bob Keates, a postdoctoral researcher in biochemistry. They married in 1978 and remained together until her death.
