Antelhope is my 2021 Sweetest Little Thing submission. It’s made from recycled media: old guitar strings, bone, wood, a small bit of cardboard, an even smaller bit of aluminum foil, and needle felted wool surrounding the plastic teeth (made from dead lighter parts)… plus a little paint, ink, adhesives.

Sweetest Little Thing is an annual Valentines day art auction in Sackville NB, 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!
