It’s not too late! The Hardware show is still on at the Fort Gallery until March 25. It’s the greatest fun
Electric rotating fan, brush, wire, metal scrubber and other hardware, approx 30 cm tall. Artist: Bob Wakefield .
Each member of our artists’ cooperative was allowed to spend up to $40 to purchase materials at the hardware store and then had to produce a creation for our Hardware Show. It’s the second we’ve had – the first was in 2009.
It’s always the most intimidating, worse than working with a blank canvas, because for most of us, it’s just out of our comfort zone. But the beauty is that we produce some pretty far out stuff, and it’s the most fun of our yearly group shows.
Here are some more of our creative geniuses and what they came up with:
Jo-Ann Sheen installing her “100 centimeter dash“.
Lucy Adams with her three dimensional Cityscape made from wire mesh, fir frame, paint colour chips.
Judy Jones with her sculpture including distressed pine stool, bucket, wiring, light bulbs
Kathleen McGiveron (ceramist) with her wire formed bird mounted on fluorescent painted plywood
Doris Auxier’s terrarium filled with fiberglass and illuminated from within by with an LED light
Dorthe Eisenhardt with her floating worm made from dryer venting, yarns and paint rollers for antennae
Olga Khodyreva : White dryer vent and foam packing cloth (approx 48 x 60 inches)
Bette Laughy: marble tile collage
Kristin Krimmel’s “Jonah the paintbrush” or “A Red Herring” made from Styrofoam packing, metal washers, paintbrush
and
