In Truth, Trust Caron explores a contradictory viewpoint, presenting a clever word play contemplating thoughts of power and subversion on the one hand and honesty and hope on the other. Using direct language, she hopes to force the public to confront societal issues. Caron's woven pieces use the same limited range of materials traditionally used to make handwoven tapestry, worsted wool and gilt gold threads, with the addition of dyed cotton warp which edge the finely woven pieces. She has a deep understanding of hand woven tapestry techniques and her resulting tapestries continue to be embraced by the training she acquired as a professional weaver. The use of gilt gold yarns is no trivial decision, it is a reflection on power and wealth.
