Carmen's mind


Yeah she constantly amazes me. This assemblage is called "Soundtrap". The statement that accompanies follows.... raised by wolves and comfortable being a predator, he knew his ability to call on birds with a lyrical whistle would help his ability to be leader of the pack... A sneaky and clever way of attack. Carmen Hickson you are sneaky and clever - the way your ART gets under my skin. this piece is of course part of the Found Art Festival.

Found Art Festival



Back by popular demand, the Found Art Festival is around the corner...July8 & 9th We are starting to get in new work from your favourites, Carmen Hickson, Dogbite, Rachel Clark Hall. Just so you know, this photo of 1955 artwork is from MOCA in LA, the artist is Robert Rauschenberg ...hmmn This coming window will be very interesting with button jewellery, sculpture , paintings and some larger items from Jim Reed, but in the meantime, it is the last day for Julia Veenstra's rich acrylics. She'll be taking them to a show in Hamilton. Jean Loney has the window now with beautiful new mosaics, some with 24 karat gold! Sideroads magazine did a wonderful article on Robin Pouw with lots of great photos of Robin and her jewellery.

Paint the Musician



Wow it was quite the experience to watch the artists painting Tamara. We had Jill Pringle, Roslyn Levin, Jim Reid, Theresa Minten, Catherine Barr, Sue Powell, and assorted kids. Tamara sung with such emotion, and truth and it came through in the sketches. This photo by Roslyn Levin gives you the sense of it. Sara May is playing right now, and it is a lot of fun. Thanks to both performers.
