The “Helen Andersen”project is becoming even more exciting than I had hoped. There are more originals than we’d originally believed…. dozens upon dozens more. A suitcase we thought was full of painting supplies was actually full of sketchpads, watercolours, serigraphs and drawings.
Above you see the first piece that Danica has photographed and uploaded to DropBox where I could get it. It is titled “The Lubicon expect fair play from the government” and it went into a B.C. Festival show. The information comes from the back of the piece, which Danica also recorded. What you see is part of a dyptych according to the writing on the back of the piece, so there’s another half to see.
We have a wealth of material to go through and document. The Canadian Women Artists History Initiative (based at Concordia University, Montreal) has taken an interest and will be adding Helen to their database.
