Carin Bacher at Arts Exposed

Studio Tour artist Carin Bacher will have her totem, “The Five Fishermen” (below) on display at the Arts Exposed Conference, November 2 and 3, at Seneca College in Markham!

Carin explains her totem: 

"Sun, guardian of the earth by day, eclipsing Moon, guardian of the earth by night, watch over totem`s inhabitants, their perpetual transformations represented by Tree Frog and Butterfly. Ever evolving as they travel through earth, sea and sky the totem dwellers` individual strengths combine to create a unified whole: Raccoon the generous protector, Lizard dreams, nomadic Snail, playful Otter, Seahorse`s hidden power, Heron`s self reflection, the life force of Salmon.

Ultimately guided by totem`s inhabitants, creation of this pole was a journey of self-discovery in excess of 300 hours"

If you'd like to see more of Carin's work, her One Horse Farm Studio is 'open by chance or appointment'
