Shanell Papp in Estevan

Although already exhausted, we made a last minute decision to go the Estevan to attend the opening of Shanell Papp's exhibition at the Estevan Art Gallery. We got there at 8 (it is a two hour drive) but caught most of her talk and had a great conversation with her afterwards, sharing bizarre ideas about the nature of her highly evocative knitted art. At one point we wondered if the middle figure in the image above had just given birth to the macabre heads on the floor, having gotten married just in time (note the wedding veil). Hugely worthwhile.
