The Cautious Rat is currently on view at Hum Microgallery! You can visit in person on West Ridge Drive in Stittsville or via Instagram @hum_microgallery.
There’s a new show every month. The curator has been finding wonderful pieces to exhibit - including installations and collaborations that work despite the truth of the “micro” in the gallery’s name. The Cautious Rat is 5”x7” and in its frame pretty much fills the space.
Hum is the first Microgallery in Ottawa, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to participate since I believe this is a brilliant way to connect people with modern art.
My comments on the painting for Hum was:
Rats are our shadow species. They travel and live with us almost everywhere whether we like it or not. Like us they are highly adaptable to new environments and sometimes cause great damage in the process. They also have a traditional reputation for sensing danger before we do, at least when deserting sinking ships!
