an INSTALATION by MArgaret Nicholson at Bethany in Antigonish Nova Scotia July -October 2013
Ribbon Cutting on site - Thursday August 1st 2013 @ 6 pm
Bethany,home to the Sisters of St.Martha,patron saint of homemakers is an apt setting for 1000 Aprons!!!
Aprons are pinned at the bottoms so the strings hang down. Blowing in the wind the strings give maximum animation to the idea of ''Waving Goodbye'' . . .a release from domestic duty . . ..
so says my dear friend Margaret, who was here last week with me in the cove . . . .
Should be a beautiful Installation to see . . . . although at Bethany it will be through a forrest . . .not along the sea shore as originally planned . . . .several years of searching could not find one mile of available shoreline for this wonderful display!
Strangely enough I have a second dear friend who collects Aprons and has 1000 of them in River John NS! She has a published book with photos . . .I unfortunately have left it in Montreal and can't give you the title here today . . ..
Enjoyed the ribbon cutting ceremony tonight. So glad to be able to take part. A job well done Margaret Rose !! and crew..smiles..
