Another Conversation I Do Not Wish To Have. Recent Assemblages at Dovercourt Rec Centre

Pipe Dream,  8"x10" assemblage,         Timothy Hunt, 2014

On Monday, I mounted a show at the Linda Street Gallery in the lobby of the Dovercourt Recreation Centre.  The work consists of assemblages made this past summer while a guest at the Main Street studio thanks to Annette Hegel and Karin Bell.  I have also included some of my masks made from found objects.  The work will be up for the rest of December.  Hope you can come by and see it!

Work in Progress at 88 Main St.

Artist's Statement

Alright, I collect junk. Let's just get that out of the way For over 20 years I have been making art from "found objects", not to reduce my carbon footprint ( a happy byproduct), but because these are the things that inspire me. Rusty nails, bicycle parts, things that fall off cars and all manner of unidentified corroded objects make their way into my carefully selected inventory of art supplies. I'm never sure how I'll use these items when I find them, but each one has a sense of history an purpose that I can't pass up. This series of masks is a continuation of a series that was selected for the Lumiere Festival this past summer. I see them as tribal masks of our urban culture.

This month, local artist Timothy Hunt presents a selection of 18 collages from the Globe and Mail Project. Acting on a free three month subscription from Canada’s National Newspaper and armed with only a pair of scissors, a typewriter and a gluestick, Tim embarked on a 90 day marathon of humorous collages using clippings from each day’s newspaper spanning topics including sports, religion and politics. The results are... well, you be the judge! The entire collection of the Globe and Mail Project can be viewed at timothyhunt.blogspot.com.

Timothy Hunt is an artist and Sculptor living in Westboro. He has participated in numerous shows across Canada with his company Mobius T-shirts and his artwork has been seen around Ottawa at the GCTC and many Art in the Park events. His “bicycle wheel chandeliers” were a big hit at last year’s Lumiere Festival in New Edinburg’s Stanley Park. Tim is also co-organizer for Urban Art in Minto Park, a juried Art and Craft event in downtown Ottawa, Sat July 24th. If something is not nailed down, it may well find its way into Tim’s artwork and he has been know to run with scissors.
