Ken Blackburn, the exhibit curator, will be speaking about Sybil Andrews and the new exhibit featuring her work at the Museum at Campbell River. He is photographed beside the linocut ‘Fleece’ from 1985, a depiction of shearing sheep on Hudson’s Farm.

In her book ‘Artist’s Kitchen’ published in 1985, Sybil Andrews advised artists to “Look for the Spirit of the object or scene. Look for the living life of it, the emotion, not the surface detail.”

In looking at Andrews’ work, it immediately becomes apparent what she is referring to.
