in flanders field & THE PARALLEL ART SHOW

Salt Spring Island, September 25 – October 23, 2021

Octogony: An exhibition about war. The exhibit area was in a side gallery which was surrounded by banners listing wars since the Trojans to the present war in Ukraine. Banners were also  hung on the side walls of the gallery with poetry from World War I, World War II and more contemporary wars.  The three 3-Dimensional pieces and art books interpreted the different wars and paintings of poppies were used as ‘punctuation’ points throughout the exhibit.
