Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba

The last few days have been a blur of activity, helping Ev prepare for the 8th WAVE Artists Studio Tour. More than 130 visitors dropped by for a studio visit, and it was good to receive feedback on the figurative sculptures and other works Ev and I have collaborated on since last summer. Read more information about the event at What? Clay Art & Curios—there’s another chance to take in the self-guided WAVE tour on the September long weekend (5 & 6 September 2009)…

Images above: a tired Ev poses with Wallflower after the tour ended last night; the outdoor display of Uncultured Enigmas proved to be popular with visitors once again; the wall-mounted sculpture Darwin’s Creation (Enigmas offer clues to missing links, in honour of Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday this year); and Peer Pressure, Ev’s social commentary re: failing corporatism and the workaholics who drive themselves down along with sinking enterprise.
