Fragments of Pollinisation
Fragments of pollinisation, by Estelle Bonetto, is a photographic collection composed of 20 glass bottles. This series is a tribute to the theme and anniversary of the Secret Gardens Tour. Inside each bottle is a photograph, laminated to preserve its integrity, as well as organic materials used as fillers. The bottle gives a frame of reference. Its shape deforms, by curving appearances, and gives new depth to aspects of reality.

take shape over the course of the weekend! About Peter Gould: Peter Gould is a 59-year old cartoonist from Ottawa. He grew up in Ottawa, studied Russian at Carleton University and St. Petersburg State University, and worked as a translator in Ottawa for many years. Over the years, he branched out from drawing cartoons for underground magazines to making T-shirts and doing large acrylic paintings. For nearly twenty years, he has visited Regina on a regular basis to see his beloved pals Christine Ramsay and Ken Wilson who moved to Regina from Toronto in 1998. Through these many visits he has had the opportunity to explore, and develop a fondness for Regina and Saskatchewan. In 2003, he painted a mural on the side of Ken and Christine’s garage, celebrating Buffalo Days. Some years later, the garage had to be torn down and Ken and Christine have invited Peter to return to produce another mural on the new garage.
