Allan Gardens (Carlton st, Toronto) Native Canadian art

Today (June 29, 2019)  photographed Native Canadian art work suspended in the Allan Gardens. This is the Allan Gardens in downtown Toronto (bounded by Carlton street on north, Gerrard street on south, Jarvis st on the west and Sherbourne on the west). I think this is a temporary exhibition and those of you living in Toronto should visit this and see to appreciate the beauty of these large art works.

Here are the photos of the unique art work of the native Canadians. ..(Anishnawbe?)It's on display now and has been on display for a number of days. This is possibly the first time, I am seeing art work, on display in the open, exposed to the elements of weather(hot sun, UV, rain, dust and bird droppings!) in a public garden, in the middle of a rough downtown area!


 In the centre, are metal things maybe representing bells?

Above are shells stitched on to this fabric with applique work. The work above with shells is made by Sara Biscarra Dilly in 2019. It's linocut on canvas, and nylon photoprint, red abalone &  green abalone, artificial sinew and thread.
