Sculptor Alastair Dickson first caught my eye with ingenious creations he called The Brutish Museum. Today, I was happy to see that one window of the 1847 Danforth Avenue studio is his stage once again.
Reflections on the window glass make these devilishly difficult to photograph, so I’ll just show you 3 of the 9 boxes that make up the current display. If you are in the neighbourhood, do drop by and see them all. They are marvellous.
[Update: It’s called 9 Chapters and you can see the whole piece here.]
This set of sculptures seems a little more refined and finished than the earlier Brutish boxes were. I like the development, but I like the earlier ones just as much or more.
The front door divides two shop windows and I would feel remiss if I didn’t show you the claymation side, identifying this as the home of QuackQuack Animations.
I feel fortunate to live in such a creative vicinty.
