tinker, tailor, mender, maker

March has been an exciting month for us at Anchor.  Thank you again to everyone who was a part of it.
This past week has been especially busy with a reading by Alex Kuo, visits from Sherman Alexie, music by the Savage Jazz Trio, not to mention the beautiful work we all got to experience by Jasmine Valandani and Steve Peters.  April is just around the corner though, and with it a new show.  Gail Grinnell's tinker, tailor, mender, maker will be opening this Friday, April 1st (6-9 pm), during the Anacortes Art Walk.

Gail will be presenting an exciting spacial investigation using charcoal on vellum, and ink, acrylic and coffee on cut polyester.   
"Of late, the focus of my drawings and installations has become more and more directed towards finding the oddities and holes in my relationship to the world around me and measuring, fitting, dressing and mending them in anyway I can."  - Gail Grinnell, as told to Sam Wildman, 2011 (excerpted). 

Check out Gail's statement about her works here.

The show will run from this Friday (April 1) to May 28.  Having had a chance to visit her studio, we can tell you, Gail's work is proving to be stunning.  Definitely a can't miss opportunity.

See you at Anchor!
