Hi and welcome! We had our vernissage of the “Impermanence / Éphémère” Outdoor Exhibition at the Arbor Gallery in Vankleek Hill last Friday afternoon. The weather cooperated, the mosquitos had a good snack, the company was lovely and the art was very cool 😎! If you live in the area, it's worth going out for a ride to visit.
“Impermanence / Éphémère” Outdoor Exhibit
Seeing textile art among the trees is pretty amazing. It was like going on a treasure hunt. Instead of "X" marking the spot, there were little signs around each art piece. I'm just going to give you a little taste of what's out there. I wouldn't want to spoil your fun if you get to visit!
Anne Warburton's "Birches" is made with pool noodles, sari silk, ribbon, acrylic paint, birch bard, player piano paper, Tyvek, organza and glue.

Very cool exhibit you are part of, Andree!!! I feel like I know someone famous!!! I, too, love the spring season of raining pink petals! And squirrel--all quilters can relate! Leaves--so many interesting leaves! I love the birch trees, too! I could use some in place of the birch trees in our yard that the electric company took down.🫤
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, it's not going to make me famous but it is a great show. So sorry to hear about your birch trees - they're my favourite trees but could be hard to create a big one from pool noodles :-)
DeleteWow!! that looks like such a cool event! your pieces are BEAUTIFUL!! Did you plan to match the background of where your art was hanging? haha .
ReplyDeleteSure, it was all colour coordinated! :-) I'm looking forward to seeing these pieces in my own backyard eventually. Thanks!
DeleteSuperbe expo ! J'aime beaucoup ces oeuvres, et merci de les partager, c'est un peu loin pour moi ;) Les tiennes sont bien mises en valeur sur ce volet. J'aime bien Cosmic Chase aussi. Bravo mesdames ! Bon repos maintenant ;))
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup Frédérique. Les oeuvres sont si différentes. J'ai hâte de visiter l'exposition avec ma fille et mon fils, une fois que la chaleur nous laisse!
