Anne Weissman & friends: Tin Hearts Transformed
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 4,
6-8pm
~ first Thursdays ~
Picture an old tea canister filled with your grandmother's collection of odd
buttons, or a heart shaped red candy box stuffed with postcards and
Polaroids. Imagine what a group of artists could make from thirty empty
heart shaped cookie tins! Anne Weissman invited a group of book artists,
collage makers, sculptors and potters to take tins to their studios and
transform them using the materials and methods of their choice. The
resulting artworks range from the contemplative to the exuberant . They
are as individual as are the hearts and imaginations of their creators.
Show continues through March 1.

C638: Cat, Runaway's Nickname
1970s juvenile book. This was allegedly the diary and
true story of a woman who went by the name Cat, who ran away from home and
lived on her own, mostly in a tent, until her death.IIRC, she died from natural
causes, and the story took place in eastern Canada in the early 1970s. I
suspect it had as much basis in reality as "Go Ask Alice", but it was
still a good story.

Margaret Drabble: The
Peppered Moth
Thursday, February 25, 7pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~
The multiple layers of Margaret Drabble's The Peppered Moth uncoil like the strands of
DNA that are at its heart. The complicated story of who the women of Bessie
Bawtry's family are - mother, daughter, granddaughter - reveal their code, but
not their total meaning - which is inscrutable, as people are. Then they coil
themselves about you, twisting you into their helix so that their story swirls
about you and it's not easy to escape.
