work table

'work table'

pencil on 4" x 6" postcard

WORK TABLE: This table used to belong to one of my most favourite relatives, my grandfather. He used it to design a motel that was built in my hometown of Guelph and to write a book, among other things. When I was really little, my aunt and her best friend would put me on top of this table and perform ‘surgeries’. I recall once, they used my grandfather’s wood t-square to cut me open to take my heart out.(Her best friend later became the Chief Medical Officer of Ontario….thanks to practice on me!) This table is over sixty years old and I would not part with this for anything.

The next day when I returned to my studio after walking my dog Dylan, there was a bag containing these pliers hanging on my doorknob.
