2008_1298 Portrait Of the Artist 2

Second shot of my friend Madonna Hamel. Yesterday, in detailing some of the back story of how we both arrived in this tiny prairie village in the middle of nowhere, I mentioned that Madonna's mother was born here. We have returned to the now collapsed house several times to salvage boards that Mado uses to make frames for her collages. That's what is happening in this photo. I cant imagine a better way to honour her mother's memory, or her own distant roots.
