Shelly Miller in Waddington Alley


Shelly Miller's public mural Stained will be unveiled this Saturday on March 26 in Waddington Alley at four o'clock. There will be tea and cookies! The mural will remain in place throughout April and May until it disintegrates. It is best viewed repeatedly as it changes.

Earlier in the afternoon Miller will present an artist talk at Open Space, 510 Fort Street at 3:00 p.m. discussing her past work and this new public installation. Shelley Miller created her ‘confecious’ mural during her residency at Open Space. The mural mimics Portuguese colonial tiles but is constructed entirely of sugar. Miller’s ephemeral installations are like history itself, eroding and dissolving over time, subject to the distortions of told and retold stories, lore and myth.

  1. Os azulejos bem feitos são cheios de magnificência e valor. In English: Quality azulejo tile work is full of magnificance and value, however, this "Stained" sugar mural is for the seagulls of Victoria to gorge on. I hope that the seagulls get to enjoy it, but I hope the poor things don't get bellyaches, afterwards. Har, har ! For quality visual art of Victoria, try out michaelfurtado.com. It has some of the works of Michael Anthony Furtado, a highly underrated painter from that city.
