Gaia’s Garden an inspiring place to be
=0D=0A=Artists are so intensely focused on their works, that they are usually unaware of how the art of becoming an artist is part of the process. About a year ago, though, a shift from shaping clay mostly on a potter's wheel, to sculpting clay into representational forms, working it on a bench, has brought that aspect of her art to the fore.
=0D=0A=“I started to get interested in doing faces and images of humans,” she said. And from there, the inspiration to do a series representing Gaia emerged. “It just came to me, let’s do Gaia, who is Mother Earth, because she needs someone to pay attention to her now,” Grigor recalled.
=0D=0A=At the end of the day, she hopes all that effort will change her world. “What I envision is putting the sculptures in the garden, and creating an experience of garden tours with the sculptures of Gaia around.”
=0D=0A=Visitors can take a virtual tour of “Gaia’s Garden” at rainforestarts.ca starting May 1. Peggy will also be hosting a live online Q&A & demo from her studio in Saltair on Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 11 am. Registration can be done at rainforestarts.ca.
