Agnes (Aggie) McKenna Power, a member of the cooperative that runs Studio Georgeville, is an artist who works in different media, including papier-mâché. The colourful fish that she made for the gallery is a permanent fixture for the donations that we receive from patrons. Recently Aggie made a series of hens and roosters  for a local arts festival at Murray Hall. Most of her chickens have gone to other people's homes to roost, but we have one on exhibit at Studio Georgeville. We asked Aggie to give us a bit of background on her delightful new papier-mâché creations.

"Having kept chickens for the last four years, I’ve often been taken by their droll appearance and odd behavior. Doing the chores required often takes longer than it ought as I puzzle over their erratic movements and bizarre acts.

"Nothing lasts forever, but sculpting them out of papier-mâché has helped me preserve some of the delight I’ve experienced observing their antics.

"Papier-mâché is a method of sculpting as old as paper. Techniques vary, but sturdy construction, acrylic paints, and varnishes ensure that these sculptures have a good long life.

"The joy I've had making them seems to be infectious. I’ve had almost as much fun watching people watch them as I've had making them. "

Due to popular demand, we have kept some of the photos and the video from the Heritage Georgeville show on display on an ongoing basis. They can be seen at the far end of the gallery. Proceeds from the sales of the historic images benefit Studio Georgeville and help us to keep the gallery and our cultural programming in operation.
