Kootenay residents to view clay. works prior to national showing

_ The West Kootenay National
Exhibition Centre will unveil two
exciting new shows, with an
opening reception on October 3.

’ These will be “Tapestry from
the Wester Edge” and “Guardians
of the Spirit,” new clay sculpture
by Nelson's nationally known clay
artist Christine Dell.

* Christine Dell has lived in Nel-
son for the last cight years, but
says, “I've never had a show in the
area. This is a way of saying ‘I’m
here’.” The irony is that , noted for

and

our of having work included in
Ceramic Art of the World,

Dell says the theme of her
NEC show, “Guardians of the
Spirit,” is “sclf-exploration.” She
sees her latest smoke-fired clay
work - heads, torsos, and abstract
forms < as major stylistic depar-
tures. “You spend all these years
developing a style and then you
want to try something new,” she
reflects. “I've changed a lot of
things in these new pieces. I’m
asking, who am I? in this work.”

its strong
execution, Dell’: 's work is widely
recognized in Canada,

She's shown in Toronto, Hamil-
ton, Niagara Falls (N.Y), London
(Ontario), Victoria, and elsewhere.

The artist's career began in
Ontario in the early ‘70s, after
she eamed a ceramics diploma at
the Sheridan College School of
Design. Early on she had the hon-

But the di aren’t only
stylistic. “I'm pushing my limits
technically,” Dell remarks,

Dell says she's working on a
generally larger scale than she has
before. “A lot of what I’m doing
now is new for me, things I've
always wanted to try.”

It will be a special opportunity
for West Kootenay residents to
see Dell's new work before any
of the rest of Canada does. “I may
send this show on to Winnipeg
and Toronto,” Dell contemplates.

“A Holiday To Remember”

the work of these four artists uses
recognizable images to tell sto-
ries, a modem extension of the
ancient tradition.

Barbara Heller renders the
subtle colouration of ancient
stone walls or incorporates
groups of wraith-like human fig-
ures in her tapestries. Alison
Keenan explores the interaction
of people and the natural envi-
ronment in B.C., drawing on her
knowledge of native traditions to
unite the past and present.
Anthea Mallinson uses the
draped human figure to express
something about the evident and
the hidden in human life. Kaija
Tyni-Rautiainen uses texture,
colour, and contrast to portray
the richness of the B.C. Forests.

The NEC welcomes all to
attend an opening reception with
Christine Dell and Barbara
Heller on Thursday, October 3,
starting at 7 p.m..

Barbara Heller, who will be. in
Castlegar to teach a tapestry,
workshop, will also give a public
slide lecture at the NEC on Fri-
day, October 4 at 7 p.m..

Christine Dell's work will be
on display until November 3,
while the tapestry show will be
up until November 10. The
National Exhibition’ Centre is
located across from the Castlegar.
Airport on Highway 3A. The
NEC's hours are 10:30 a.m. -
4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Fri-
day, and 12 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Sat-
urday and Sunday.

Margaret Swaine has come a
long way from her teenage years
in the ‘60s,

“Despite the experimentation
of that era, I reached university
with the old beliefs still firmly
intact — those of marriage, kids
and the wife a silent pillar behind
hubbie,” she said.

“Those beliefs were stoked
by the stream of Ann Lander's
columns my mother sent me,
most with the theme of fallen
women wailing they wished
they had waited,” Swaine
recalls with a smile in her
words.

“Higher education was main-
- ly important to keep the options
open in ‘case Plan A failed —

grounds for a marriage candi-
date.”

Swaine said Plan A did fail
for her. Though she married in
her 20°'s, “the union to last a
lifetime barely made it past two
years even with marriage coun-
selling.”

She discovered a business and
entrepreneurial streak in her per-
sonality “while my husband dis-
covered he would have preferred
someone at home with supper on
the table. My nature — impulsive,
impatient and driven — would not
be tamed into submission.”

And so Swaine started a mar-
keting consulting company, while
at the same time developing a
hobby, a love of wine, into a prof-
itable writing and teaching side-
line,

Now 38, Swaine is president
of Pierce Communications
which has seven employees
(including Swaine),

“My business interests have
given me a very comfortable life
— my own house, a place in the
country, private club member-
ships and much overseas travel,”
she said.

“But most of all my work has
allowed me a wealth of experi-
ences, introduced me to fascinat-
ing people and opened the doors
to every type of activity I have
ever wondered about.”

Here are Swaine’ 8 tips to both

sional success:

Embrace change. “You can
swing back and forth on the same
trapeze all your life — or let go at
the right moment and grab a
higher rung,” she said. Change

will probably come anyway, sO
you might as well approach it in a
positive way,

Develop your individu:
ality. “Be a whole person with
interests, morals and beliefs
which you have arrived at
based on your own experience,”
If you define yourself in terms
of “wife”, “employee” or “par-
ent”, for example, you risk hav-
ing the rug pulled from under
you if your spouse leaves, you
get laid off or your kids turn on
you.

Cid

.Keep on trucking. Don't
get discouraged when the going
gets tough; hang in. If you are
stuck with a difficult situation,
make it work for you. “More
businesses are successful due to
determination than to brilliance,”
said Swaine,

Bob Turner, Partner responsi-

average pay increase of 5.9

Saskatchewan reported the
smallest increase of 5.3 per cent.

Increases by region and

Give more than you get.
“Go the extra mile for your
friends, clients or customers,”
Swaine said. “In business,

most return favors with refer-

Be positive. “Keep upbeat
no matter how many defeats you
suffer. Eventually the tides will
turn.” Swaine gave an example
to prove her point.

“I spent almost 10 years after
the demise of my marriage intro-
