The second stop on the speaking tour was Ottawa. Here I checked out the National Gallery and met the board members of the Hnatyshyn foundation, who helped make this award possible.
I gave a talk at AXENE07, and became a member by purchasing a pair of their wool socks (the artist run centre used to be a wool factory).
I visited The Canadian Museum of Nature... spent a long time with the beetles, bones and minerals.
I also checked out the Carleton University Art Gallery, featuring a photo show of the work of David Ofori Zapparoli and Yannick Anton. Also at the gallery was a show on of Wartime Manufacturing and Women Workers.
I had brought my witch hat with me on this trip, but for some reason it mainly stayed in the hotel rooms. Next stop on the trip was Banff, Alberta!
