A Lonesome, Lovesome Thing is my 2020 Sweetest Little Thing submission. It’s made from a doll’s arm, an old ceramic doorknob, fabrics, recycled plastics, thread, recycled guitar string and the usual wee teeth, made from – you guessed it: dead bic lighter parts and a little bit of white paint!

Sweetest Little Thing is an annual Valentines day art auction in Sackville NB (although this year’s auction was postponed two weeks due to a labour disruption at Mount Allison University). The fundraiser is in support of both the Owens Art Gallery (where it’s held) and Struts Gallery and Faucet Media Art Centre. Locally, it’s a fun, family friendly party (replete with a cakewalk), but even if you are from afar, you can participate by submitting you high bid online, and have proxy bidders win that art for you, you lovers of art!
