McMullen Gallery - Urban Textures

I will take you around the McMullen Gallery where Articulation currently has an exhibition of work called Urban Textures. you can see a person walking past the glass outer wall of the gallery. Inside work hangs on the panels.

Gloria S. Daly and Donna Clement's work.

Around the corner and along the back wall. Ingrid Lincoln & Linda MacKay's work with one of the 'contemplation' chairs that are very comforting to sit in.

The left-hand side of the back wall. More of Linda & Gloria's work with Donna checking levels.

More images of our Loose Threads: Works in Progress.

This is Ingrid Lincoln's work. She is Queen of the Deconstructed Screen. She generously shared her knowledge of this silk screen technique with all of us. Deconstructed screen printed cloth features prominently in the exhibition because we all found the technique very expressive.

Ingrid is also exploring the cultural implications of TLBD (the little black dress).

Above and below in Linda MacKay's work. She silk screened her photographic images & drawings onto dyed cotton.

Last night was finally the night we got to hear the compositions by the 5 composers who have been living in The Centre for the past few weeks. And here we are patiently waiting an hour before the performance for the chance to get in. There was room for only 20 of the general public. And we made it.

Each composer wrote on the theme of Evolution to celebrate Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. This image is of Vincent Ho's score. He won viewer's choice.

Andrew Staniland won the major prize and also the commission from an orchestra.
We all had a wonderful time. It was a most memorable experience. CBC will have the performance on their website for the next year so we will be able to relive the experience.

Today we hung some of the work we have produced this month while in Banff. We had our Open House in the afternoon and lots of people dropped by. Left- me, Gloria S Daly, Linda Mackay, Ingrid Lincoln, Donna Clement, Wendy Klotz, ReBecca Paterson.
