SardineTin #9, #17, & #18

It's in the show!

...so are SardineTins # 12, #13, #14, #16, #17, #18, #19, #23, #25, and # 26.

Yes, I've been really busy.

I did finally get back to the Anaba Tea Room/gallery

to photograph the latest sardine tins.

It wasn't the same as photographing them here, but I think they'll be ok.

The lighting is what was available in the gallery.....and I'm not really all that good at this part.

They will be in the
Woman Made Gallery's "and You Think That's Funny?" show...
January 23rd-February 26th

SardineTin#12...3.25"wide, 7"high, 1.15"deep ($1000)

Artist Statement: "My arting has to do with whatever is in front of me,
although, I do seem to have an on/off relationship with fish...RedHerrings in particular...
which I've never been able to see as stinky fish to avoid, but beginnings of fit and beautiful and humourous visions.
Sardines, a relative of the herring, travel in wonderful containers."
Written for the show, but was lost.
