Inverness County Centre for the Arts


Handy Hubby and I drove my work
all the way up to Cape Breton
We started with my Daily Scratchings
which now need a wall at least 21 feet long.
Don't you love the shadows dripping down from each loop.


We filled the walls
according to our plan which we previously worked
out on our basement walls.
Must say that trying to work out a hanging plan before we got there
really helped.
We had worked out all the kinks before getting to the gallery.


Working things out ahead was of course Handy Hubby's idea.
He often has such great ideas!


As we worked away hanging in our gallery
the artist and printmaker Maria Doering
was climbing scaffolding in another gallery
 as she worked on her installation "Inside Me".
SAQA Atlantic Canada show "Structures"
covers the walls around Maria's piece.


Outside the gallery knitted windsocks danced on the sea breezes.


So many thanks to Handy Hubby for all his help in all I do.

    Oh yes, a hanging plan does really help, doesn't it. Otherwise the hanging process can seem neverending!

    I do so look forward to your comments. I also have a handy hubby, and the support is just fantastic, isn't it? I have started stitching with a weekly goal in mind. Thank you for inspiring me.

    Congratulations Penny. Your work looks fabulous. You are so modest in the way you speak about your work and about showing us enough photos of it installed. xo More please.
