Wow- A Shout Out!!!
I just had
the occasion to visit the show at the Carnegie Gallery in Dundas “Pas de Deux”
by Maureen Marcotte and David McKenzie from Wakefield, Quebec. This certainly
is a beautiful dance by two very accomplished dancers. ThIt is an extensive
show that filled both sides of the gallery. I was completely blown away by this
show. There was so much of that show I would like to have brought home. By the
number of red dots, I think there were a
lot of people that felt the same way.
First of
all the handbuilt work- man that’s what I have been talking about. This work
had beautifully finished foot rings and added rims and the decoration is to die
for. I of course loved the ripped edges on some of David’s pieces and the
narratives are both amusing and captivating.
The deep
olive glaze that appeared to be an ash glaze similar to old Song Dynasty glazes
particularly appealed to me. Gawd, it’s a lovely show. A piece of their work is
on my must have list. I am doing a workshop in Ottawa in Sept and thought I
might go over to Wakefield to The Black Sheep Inn ( Le Mouton Noir) which is
one of my favourite musical haunts. I
will take in some music and perhaps indulge myself. There is one big bowl in
that Korean celadon with a herringbone pattern around the rim that ain’t red
dotted yet and it was calling out as I snuck out the door. Herringbone is one of
my favourite patterns.
