Rain and Blues
paper mask by Joan Marr, rain print by James Mah
disclaimer: this is another one of those scheduled posts. today it actually snowed in the midst of non-stop rain showers. i don't think i'm being presumptuous in thinking this might continue for a week or so. my apologies if it is sunning heavily by the time this post is published
Don't let the rain get you down. Banish those winter blues.
Spring is just around the corner :)
Don't lose hope.

City Hall Display: April 2011
 |
| grounding sandals |
This month's City Hall display is by jewelry artist, Urszula Petrykowska. Urszula works in metals, having recently added silversmithing to her range of techniques following her recent graduation from the Vancouver Community College jewellery program. Her signature line of leaf imprint jewelry is represented by a cuff and earrings. Her work flows from a love of the organic form and pieces appear to grow from the natural world. Visitors to the display case will also be treated to her new works, sculpture. The amazing grounding sandals completed for the recent Roots exhibition take a surreal exploration on the concept of grounding oneself.

April's Featured Artist: Pat de Couto
April's featured artist is driftwood carver and sculptor, Pat de Couto.
Pat is behind many of the enchanting and engaging faces seen in the gift shop.
Is that just a knot of driftwood I spy? - no, it is a face appearing from the grain.
Am I being watched? Yes, and it's probably by one of Pat's creations.
The featured artist wall is covered with her "conversation" heads, all hobnobbing with each other.
If you're quiet enough, I swear you can hear the murmur of conversation.
