Footsteps Show

Footsteps

Ack! I COMPLETELY forgot about this show - FOOTSTEPS - running until the 27th of February. If you are in Victoria, BC please go and support this worthwhile fundraiser. You can read more about The Global Shoe Project here. Thanks to my friend Dale Roberts who sent me, not only the poster, but a photo of his loveliness  alongside The Shoechild (notice the red dot - it SOLD!) I’m thrilled to see it in context and glad it helped a bit toward the plight of children affected by war.

Dale Roberts and The Shoechild

Besides being an absolutely phenomenal sculptor - his crocheted installations are so nostalgic to me of the fishing weirs of Southwestern Nova Scotia -  Dale’s alter ego Dame Mailarta is a whirling Capital "D" Dirvish of artistic endeavors including Mailarta 3 and this new project Dame’s Portrait Gallery. I will definitely be sending my signed self-portrait. Why don’t you?!?
