…Phyllida Barlow’s Eleven Columns
At the end of our son’s trip to Toronto we decided to check out the new Fall show at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art). The one exhibition featured the British artist, Phyllida Barlows who sadly passed away earlier this year. Her installations were created from inexpensive, low grade materials such as cardboard, fabric, plywood, styrofoam and cement. As a result her pieces are very textural and fun to look at.

While at baking this past week we noticed that the garden bed behind the inn was producing some very late butternut squash. Sadly many of these won’t grow to maturity because they are very late bloomers but you never know. If we get a few more weeks of warm summer weather some of them might have a chance.
…To Bury the Truth
A trio of paintings with a somber message. These pieces were done by an indigenous artist, Amber Smith Quail that I have had the privilege to get to know this past year. They are part of her show at WAAC called Nawemaa / to be related.
