Besides organizing "Trashformation" (see previous post), The Aurora Arts Society also hosted a number of other events, one of them a "Members' Show" open to the public during this past week at The Prince of Wales Museum.
The museum, by the way, is itself beautiful building in a gorgeous location on Frame Lake in the city's centre:
The walkway above (rest assured, both walkway and building are straight in real life), with flags from all of NT's communities, separates Frame Lake on the left from the unnamed small stretch of water that reaches to the Visitors Centre. It's the small but also very pretty building centered in the picture (Explorer Hotel in the background):
Aurora Arts Society members produce a variety of beautiful pieces, as this small selection of images shows (the first painting, by the way, a poignant reminder of the north's rapidly melting ice):
We "fibre friends" all had something in the show as well: the following show (in order) Janet's hand-dyed silk scarves, Donna's quilts, Pat's felting, and my purses:
And Donna won Viewer's Choice with her quilt! deservedly so, we all agreed - subject matter, composition, hand-dyed cottons, and the precision with which she executes her pieces result in great beauty. "Lone Pine," I persist in calling it, although she has another name for it. For one, the tree is a spruce...
