SUMMARY:Alanna Baird
DESCRIPTION:Radial SymmetriesThis work revolves around the Pentaradial symmetry of a Sea Urchin shell. Pentaradial being a five sectioned symmetry found in nature that revolves around a central point. The simplest example being the Starfish and its five legs. Alanna Baird has been exploring this patterning through several different mediums and dimensions. The printmaking is often her initial exploration in surface patterns. \nThanks to funding through ArtsNB\, I was able to create a body of work in lost wax cast bronze. Using some of my own ceramic work from the 1990’s as forms\, I cast wax into these shapes and then altered the wax by cutting holes; exploring the symmetry as well as the strength of this new-to-me material. The bronze was cast in a foundry in Quebec\, but the chasing (grinding of sprues and polishing of surface metal) and patination (colour) completed in Alanna’s studio. \nThe Calligraphic sculpture in plastic represents a second ArtsNB grant funded project. The initial intent was to use 3D printing to change the scale of my work. Computer design is not something I enjoy\, the hands on fabrication of things is what I love. I became fascinated with a hand held 3D pen\, and the clear plastic it could extrude. Light and air flowing through this new body of work\, shadows cast. Although the plastic in the exhibition is too fragile to sell\, I intend to work farther in this technique. \nI am inspired by what I find on my daily walks on the sea floor\, the inter tidal zone of the Bay of Fundy reveals it’s treasure to me. Treasure to me is not gold coins\, but rather glimpses of things that catch my eye. Part historical – pipe stems\, china shards\, even stone weapons of a very early age\, and part natural environment – resident as well as invasive species included. Often fragments\, shells with their interiors exposed\, sea urchin shell pieces which reveal the complexity of their “construction”. \nI am a materials based artist. I enjoy exploring the material I have to work with. Mastering techniques\, learning how to work with it\, what it’s limits are\, figuring out what I can do with it. I often work with recycled materials. Invasive species like the Lionfish have entered my view. I am currently working on a printmaking project involving the Golden Star Tunicate\, an invasive species along this coastline. – Alanna Baird \nCurated by Brigitte Clavette and Jennifer Stead. \nMeet Alanna\nSaturday\, April 16\, 2-4 pm at the Gallery

SUMMARY:Crazy Quilting
DESCRIPTION:Learn Victorian-style crazy quilting with Cat Candow. Piece together foundation fabric by hand\, and then explore embroidery techniques to create a heavily embellished piece of crazy quilt. \nSaturday\, March 26\, 9:30 am – 4 pm \nSunday\, March 27\, 1 – 4 pm \n$60 + bring own sewing scissors and any special fabrics you may want to incorporate \nCat Candow\n\n\n\n\nRaised in Germany under her grandmother’s sewing table\, Cat took her first stitches at age 3\, attempting to make pants for her Teddy. She learned to crochet and cross stitch around the same time as she learned to read and write\, but with much more enthusiasm. She came to Canada as an exchange student and stayed to study Fashion Design at NBCCD\, followed by three years in England\, making theater costumes and studying hat making. As a multi-media textile artist\, she loves to combine traditional techniques with up-cycled materials in unexpected ways and creating textures too tempting not to touch.
