assembled a show representing the nostalgic, the second hand or used, even better, the well worn in life. The evening’s reception was the best attended so far and most fun - if you ask me (they just get better each time). The show opened with family, friends and then new friends arriving to see the artists work and it ended after laughs and the usual trying on of the clothes - it's too hard to resist when all the clothes are just hanging there begging to be worn, well worn.

Some words form the artists;

Paintings and drawings provide a particularly intimate means to re-experience the past. Whether they're photographs, drawings or paintings pictures catapult frozen moments from the past into our present. Cory Dixon.

(Speaking of parents) Two in a long, connected line of genes and information of everyone and everything else. They thrift and save. They'll name any plant or bird or rock, and think every boy is a boyfriend. They'll keep all our pictures on the table and know every name. Catherine De Montreuil.

The imagery of John and Yoko symbolizes a battle for love and freedom. During the time these two were in love, so were my parents. Then John Lennon was murdered. And my parents fell out of love, A two decade war finally ended. And then, yet another war began. I need to believe in John and Yoko. Elizabeth Babych.
