2012 Nuit Blanche North Installation Project - Completed

Completed!

Another gorgeous day this Saturday, for which we were all thankful, as Mr. Weatherman was threatening intermittent showers. Didn't happen. Instead, those of us partnered with local businesses to make Tom Thomson inspired works, integrating materials or themes from those businesses, wrapped up and put the final touches in place in preparation for an evening of Nuit Blanche North.

On June 14th I was contacted by Dan Watson of Edge of the Woods Theatre with an invitation to be a participating artist in an artsVest component to this year's Nuit Blanche, honouring the 100th anniversary of celebrated artist Tom Thomson's arrival to the Muskoka area.

I am honoured this year to be accepted into the juried Barrie Spring Art Tour. To promote the tour large banners will be hung from the lampposts of downtown Barrie, with each of the tour artists asked to create original works on each banner.

Making a temporary paper worked piece which will live outdoors for over a month would be a particular challenge for me, but as I appreciate that new challenges push boundaries I was eager to accept.

Below are photos of the banner in progress to completion and a bit of info on how I approached this project.
