From the series "Power Line Refurbishment on rue de L’Église" by Shannon Whittle
A big thank you to Katie and everyone at Apartment613 for the opportunity to post my interview with Shannon Whittle on their blog!
The full interview is here but here’s a sneak peek to whet your appetite:
With summer nearly upon us, construction zones are popping up faster than the tulips at Major’s Hill Park. Most of us walk, drive, or bike through construction and promptly forget about it. Local artist Shannon Whittle sees it a little differently.
Shannon Whittle’s latest exhibition opens on May 27 at the Trinity Gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre and runs to June 22, with a vernissage on May 30th from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. The show features recent paintings of stills and scenes of everyday subjects, including a new series entitled Power Line Refurbishment on rue de L’Église (pictured above).
I met Shannon over scones and (what else?) coffee at Ideal Coffee to chat about art, Shannon’s creative process, and her avid fascination with the constant battle between construction workers and the elements.
