Metamorphish 2010 - a year of evolution - Dec 2/10 to Jan 11/11
Tin Fish (pictured)first appeared in Ottawa in 2006 in a shop window in the Glebe, and now are about to make a big splash in Orleans. Shiny armoured fish sculpture built from recycled metal. Tin cans transformed into flying fish. Scrap copper roofing used to create leaping black bass. A crazy quilt of copper skin for an ancient Ichthyosaur on steel wheels. Catfood can lids glittering golden and silver scaled striped bass. A year of work and the "metamorphish" of that work. The slow creative evolution from one piece to the next captured over the period of one year. Come out and enjoy Trinity Gallery's transformation into an undersea aquarium.  Alanna Baird has worked in metal since 1991. This is the first major showing of her work in Ottawa.
