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 — besides being good hunting

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.”
