Today Steven and I drove to Pickering to visit the Pickering Museum for the unveiling of our friend. Georgia Fullerton‘s amazing work The Way Gone Made Clear.

Georgia was asked to create meaningful artistic decorations for a wagon formerly used
to bring slaves to Canada. What she did with graphite, acrylic paint gel, tans, 3-D design,
and digital work is truly awesome.

Georgia says that the work is a “vehicle for change that stands for promises and perseverance.
Triumph over trauma. Education over ignorance and racialized historical teachings.
And the hardships, the 'displanted' settlers of Upper Canada had to overcome.”

I hope you will go and see the work if you are in the Toronto/Pickering region.
It is exceptionally moving.

We loved meeting Georgia’s mother, who is visiting from Jamaica, and her sister
who came from Calgary, and to see her daughter India again, who has been my
model twice, and to meet some of Georgia's wonderful friends.  An amazing event.

Have a loving your life day
