Surface and Soul
The colliding of senses at the Ambleside seashore occurs the first Tuesday morning of every month.
Inside the intimate setting of the Silk Purse Arts Centre, musicians from the Lions Gate Sinfonia gaze at collections of artwork, with instruments raised. The compositions they choose reflect their interpretation of the art.
On Feb. 7 at 10:30 a.m. the Silk Purse Chamber Music Series presents “Surface and Soul”: visual artists Laurie McCallum and Jenn Williamson explore the creative possibilities of plaster and clay.
Williamson found her voice when she delved into fine art painting. She often pours her life story onto the canvas. Her paintings are bold and vibrant, a lot of them abstract landscape.
Having her works selected as a muse for the musicians performing during the Silk Purse Chamber Music Series is a unique opportunity for the North Vancouver-raised artist.
"I thought it sounds wonderful and I can’t imagine anything more beautiful," said Williamson. "I’m excited to see what their representation of my art is."
Tickets for "Surface and Soul" are available at the Silk Purse, 1570 Argyle Ave., West Van. More information: silkpurse.ca
