LACELLE and EVANCHUCK have
collaborated to produce a rather Marvelous Realism using Evanchuck's
photographic images of Blueberry shacks on the #7 and Lacelle's artistry
to add the marvelous to those realistic images and of course the dolls -
abandoned Dolls
from the maritimes to Ottawa, dolls found in old abandoned homes in the
Maritimes, on junk piles in Toronto and Hamilton, in Variety Village at
Niagara Falls, at the Bargain Box on Laurier and dozens of other
accidental finds of abandoned dolls.
Images were shot during recent
ice storm - one has to wait to 'get the right image the will display the
atmosphere the 'feel' - the ice storm produced the perfect feel of
emptiness, loneliness, the harshness of life surrounding the
inhabitants.
The show draws in the viewer to
help them 'feel' the strangeness of the area - of course the viewer may
form their personal thoughts on the combination of creative techniques
used to add an odd and unmistakable 'feel' to this presentation - don't
expect
the ordinary from creative people and certainly not from
Lacelle&Evanchuck
The #7 highway from Perth to
Madoc is ancient in many ways .... untouched for decades with modernity,
an olden days display of abandoned properties, junked vehicles and a
sense of loss... that sense one feels as they drive the two lane
blacktop road trippin'
thru Ontario's hinterland looking at the way things used to be and
still are.
There are no condos here, no hipsters just the stillness of that past that lingers into the present ....
