Not So Incy Wincy

Arachnophobes should look away now, because this spider is anything but incy wincy. Dwarfed by this sculpture outside the art gallery in Ottawa, we speculated about the rain needed to wash this beauty out of its water spout and onto the forecourt.

On show when we visited was art stretching from moccasins and walrus teeth carvings, to striking pieces like this one painted by what we presume to be a Canadian St Kilda supporter. We especially appreciated the despair and disbelief in the faces of the crowd.

The three game losing streak, represented by the central panel, adds depth to the anguish.

Lumberjack alert

In happier news, we were delighted to identify the recurring trope of early musicianship, the lumberjack, shown here in the pre-flannel stage of development.

Paying attention

As incy wincy foreshadowed, the artwork has started a long term strategy to escape the gallery and make a bid for power throughout the city.

We were only able to identify a few of the photo opportunities in the time available.
