One is comprised exclusively of the work of Lorna Obermayr, a noted artist who now resides in New Denver. The other is titled Made By TRAVEL Hand: Felt and Paper and originates with the Canadian Craft Museum. Made By Hand demonstrates that fine art is no longer confined to the media traditionally associated with it, namely to painting and to metal or stone sculpture, the NEC says in a news release.

Both felt and paper are media that involve the meshing of fibrous materials into sheets and sculptural forms. While the artistic sensibilities evident in tie work entered were thoroughly up-to-date, entries to the competition displayed the full gamut of felt and paper techniques yielded by the centuries. Made By Hand includes pieces contributed by 16 B.C. artists. Among those works that passed the stiff adjudication that governed in- clusion in the show is one by South Slocan artist Maggie Tchir, Her piece, Mountain Memory Box, will be on display along with the 24 pieces contributed by other artists in the exhibit. Tchir’s piece was, among those awarded a purchase prize by Coast Paper for its corporate collection. She will be presenting a slide lecture on felt making at the NEC on March 15, followed by a weekend workshop. Obermayr’s work in cast paper is thoroughly at home alongside ~ the Made By Hand show. Titled Arctic Dreams, Expeditions and Encoun- ters, this wall-mounted sculptural work is most striking, the NEC says.

Obermayr’s reliefs sensitively abstract the forms she’s discerned in the landscapes she’s beheld. At 66, Obermayr has been a Professional artist and teacher of art for more than four decades. “‘My creative work and my teaching have always seemed to me to be the only things worth doing,”’ she says. ‘They never bored me.”” Obermayr received her bachelor of sciences in art education at the University of Wisconsin, and later a master of fine arts at Idaho State University, doing her thesis in metals and sculpture. She held a number of teaching posts through the years, most recently at Idaho State in Pocatello, where she was chairman of the art department. For the last 15 years, Obermayr has worked primarily in paper and has shown her work extensively. Among the many «museums and galleries in which she’s exhibited is the prestigious Smithsonian American Museum in Washington, D.C. After a brief visit to New Den- ver during which she fell in love with the village, she moved there and bought a house which she and her husband are renovating. “*Paper has expanded my imagery and permitted me to work on a scale in which I would never have been in- terested otherwise,’’ she says. “My last large landscape was a five-piece paper relief measuring seven by 35 feet. There’s an excitement about landscape which for me nothing else equals. It's a splendidly energetic, continually changing tapestry of color, texture, light, form and spirit id it’s that change that is the elusive element I find myself con- tinually seeking to express.”’ Obermayr does a magificent job of investing her medium with her per- ceptions and with the excitement she finds in the landscape, the NEC says. Obermayr will present a slide lec- ture on paper making at the NEC on March 1, followed by a weekend workshop. Local businessman Jeff Shecter spearheaded a supplementary, local fundraising effort for these exhibits. Lou Lynn, director of the NEC, said she applauds the progressive attitude shown by the Kootenay Business Journal, Hall Printers, Kootenay Weekly Express, and Caroll Taiji Design. “*Without the support of the Craf- ts Association of B.C. and the com- munity spirit of Jeff and our other Visit continued from page 83 He loved the country and hired Italian stonemasons and craftsmen to build, first their own village houses and shops (which are still in use) and then his own Balfour Castle (or ‘‘great house,” since there are no defensive works). He also planted a wood for the ladies to walk in (trees are very scarce on the islands), a huge English kitchen garden with high brick walls to create a mini-climate, and impor- ted the best available sheep and cattle for breeding stock, and agricultural advisers to educate the far- mers. Thus, today, the island raises some of the finest produce and cattle in the kingdom. We arrived at the island by a half-hour ferry ride (the usual method of travel here), walked to the castle and found that, despite its stern Scottish baronial look, it possessed both a homey intimacy and charm which reflected its present residents as well as the late laird himself. After an enthusiastic tour of the house, we retired to the huge ‘‘downstairs’’ kitchen for an ex- cellent Scottish high tea, compliments of our Classique Tours owner, guide and mentor, David Dean. Included in the meal was some of the best rhubarb jam that I have ever tasted. The lady of the house, on request from Bunny, wrote out the simple recipe, so that my summer’ satisfaction is now assured. We then visited the extensive gardens which slowly past the stone biffy at the quay-edge — the only one of its kind, we were told, and it gets scoured out by the sea twice a day; past the numerous sea- birds and seals lounging on the rocky shore or swim- ming about the ship for the picture takers, and finally past the guard towers on the headland built against the Napoleonic invasion which never came. No story of castles is cOmplete without a ghost. Therefore, there is a family legend about a very early ancestor of the laird, one Sir David Balfour, who came home one evening from hunting and called for a drink but was balked again and again by his mastiff dog leaping up on him and knocking the cup out of his hand. In a rage, he killed the -faithful hound whose in- stinct had saved him from the poison prepared for him by his evil wife, a witch. Sir David was killed during one of the Crusades to the Holy Land and his death was announced by the howling of the faithful dead dog. The ghost dog eventually took up residen- ce in a dark hole under the main staircase of the castle and his howling still announces the impending death of a Balfour laird and, in fact, is alleged to have been heard by a relative at the death of the late Colonel James Balfour in 1960. The Orkadians are justifiably proud of their richly endowed and varied land and the Orkney Tourist Organization located in Kirkwall is lavish our guide assured us fruit and like nowhere else. “*It's the mini-climate created by the high wall,’’ he said, ‘‘plus plenty of manure from our cattle and, above all, the long hours of daylight which permit natural ripening of the fruit — the best in Scotland.’’ When we reboarded our ship, the captain cruised with ii i while the Classique Tours (offices in Fife, Scotland) offered an excellent to a wonderful experience and a thousand other stories. The sun shines clear and bright in Orkney which makes the sea trips a pure joy but there is always a cool breeze and frequent showers. Rain gear and sweaters (even gloves) are strongly advised.
