My friend Heidi and I went traipsing around to a few galleries in town last week. There was a fairly big drawing exhibit at the Dalhousie Art Gallery, a strange sculpture show at St. Mary’s University, and Janice Leonard’s well executed landscapes at Studio 21. The artwork was interesting but not earth-shaking which I suppose is good, considering the various natural disasters we have already experienced lately. But it felt more as if most of the work was ideas yet to be hatched. Heidi suggested there be a website where a person could put up an idea and have people comment, make suggestions. That way maybe more fully baked ideas would be on the menu.
When I was first learning to cook, at around twenty years of age, I asked my mother how long it took to cook a pot roast. “Until it’s done,” she told me. I can laugh at this now, but then it was too confusing. Maybe, ultimately, experience/time is the best teacher.
