Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba

It’s been a busy art weekend, helping Ev prepare for the upcoming 8th WAVE Artists Studio Tour this next weekend (13/14 June and then again on 5/6 September)—essentially a self-guided tour of artists’ studios and galleries along the western shores of Lake Winnipeg. We were able to put the finishing touches on several sculptural pieces, including Many more of us live next door… (shown above), our first truly collaborative sculptural work, which went to the Fishfly Gallery yesterday. Ev is hoping this piece might also be cathartic—she’s had the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine song stuck in her head since she first heard it as a young teen some 40 years ago (this ‘song in the head’ is the conceptual premise for this particular sculpture).
