The World Festival of
Threads is an amazing production with over 20 venues between Oakville and
Toronto. I am delighted that my
life-sized animated puppet installation, Thanks,
Ma, is a part of the Variegated Threads exhibit at the Queen Elizabeth Park
Community and Cultural Centre in Oakville.
I am pleased too that Ma is hanging out in the lobby where people who
may not venture into a gallery will stop and take a look. Ma is also experiencing some anonymous and
harmless rearranging by what I assume are small hands, judging by the little
shoe prints on her platform.
Congratulations and many thanks
to Dawne Rudman and Gareth Bate for the enormous effort it took to mount this
festival, for the excellent curation of every exhibition, and for their
incredible attention to detail. This is
the most organized art event I have participated in.
