Title: ‘Similar Yet Different'
Medium: 10 inch/26 CM Squares Preferably on Watercolor Paper
Subject: Aspects of life in Pinar del Rio, Cuba and Nova Scotia, Canada. (Work, People, Landscape, Culture)
Design: Each square will be mounted on foam core with one side representing Cuba and the other, Nova Scotia. Three double sided squares will than be hung with barrel swivel and line to form columns. These columns will then be suspended from the ceiling in three or four rows far enough apart to allow the viewer to walk amongst them. The air current and swivels will cause the pieces to turn individually.
Each artist will make a comment about their piece.
Why: To bring awareness of the similarities and differences between the two Provinces. To help promote the Cuban - Nova Scotia Art Exchange.
Who: Various Cuban and Nova Scotian Artists under the direction of Jude Caborn.
History/ Origin: This piece is a result of working with Ruth Wilton on her Cuban. Nova Scotia Cultural Exchange Project.
