- HOLD HANDS: Lynne McIlvride’s Annual Easter Weekend Art Show
My annual Easter exhibition of new work is my favourite show when I open my studio and home to the public. This year I continue with my series of painted low relief carved hands. Keep checking here for images of new work, prices and inspirations.
- New Work at The Second Wedge!
I am in the middle of a series celebrating my own fidgety hands—and the hands of all of us who make things with our hands, talk with our hands, worry with our hands.
There is a little drawing of me as a young child that a friend of my grandmother’s did. I didn’t know her, she just wanted to practice drawing. I had to stay perfectly still for an eternity in a little wool suit. It was probably 20 minutes. I remember the artist becoming red-faced and frustrated because I wasn’t staying still enough. Especially my hands. I thought she was angry at me which made me more anxious and fidgety. She finally gave up, exasperated.
Perversely, I still have the drawing. As an artist now I look back on it and find the hands the most interesting part.
So that’s part of the inspiration behind this series. The other thing that moved me in this direction was running into a small show of Naoko Matsubara’s wonderful prints of hands at the Art Gallery of Ontario a few months ago. Brilliant!
Below is the price list from The Second Wedge where my work will be showing until February 7.
Please note: #4 and #7 and #10 are now sold.
