Alright, I'm on the up and up with technology, but I haven't had a good reason to use my phone to take photos cause camera phones mostly suck. I've had a SE w810i for about a month now and this is my first mobile upload- kinda cool. I gotta look into what this is going to cost me!
A lot of people seem to hate these sculptures. It has been a while since I last hung around Sherbourne/St James Town and generally that was only at night (those party days seem like a dream from long, long ago) so it's always a surprise when something so gentrified-y pops up in the neighbourhood. It was much too hot to explore further but there is more to see.
"The multi-sited sculptural work, Inversion is a comment about our current, local relationship with this age old Canadian and particularly urban interaction with nature. Simply put, nature has now been turned on its head. The threat has gone, the desire is not to fortify our existence against the wilderness which has been tamed to disappearance, but rather, it is now a nostalgic desire to embrace what no longer exists.
The animals represented as realistic sculptural renderings in bronze are intended to invoke a pastoral past, inverted. The stag positioned vertically, fastened to a stainless steel support structure, is at once a symbol of strength and a symbol of nature’s replacement by man’s ingenuity and modern invention. The two wolves, the one upright, the other inverted and mirrored, elevated on their stainless steel tower simultaneously guard and welcome. The female deer, the doe, the only one of the animals represented sited at ground level, on a flat stainless steel plate, calmly, peacefully invokes an idealized past and an comfortable presence. The foxes are sited close to the doors of the building at pedestrian level, they are intended to be interacted with visually and tactilely, literally available to be petted. The foxes are not merely shadows of one another, but are turned around creating an unsymmetrical reflection, a personification of a life effused with humour and goodwill."
INVERSION, by Eldon Garnet, 2011.

A vivid dissection of lust, brutality, and ravenous love.
Recognized as the gentlest of Kane works, Crave lacks the violence of her earlier plays even as it plummets into the dark corners of the human psyche. Often described as a chamber-piece, Crave explores its themes with musical agility, exploring human experiences that defy a linear structure. It is a mark of her extraordinary talent that Kane was able to explore bleak subjects with humanity and humor. Crave presents four characters, whose words and silences build a symphony of lust, loneliness, abuse, and persistence. As the characters expose dark humor and wild desires, the audience is led through the shadows of affliction and into the light of release. Adult themes.

TANKUS THE HENGE
TAVISTOCK: The Wharf SUN 7TH APR, 2019 7:30pm
Tankus the Henge have built their reputation on unforgettable songwriting, spectacular live performances and relentless hard work, playing hundreds of shows across Europe and building a devoted fan base along the way.
Their funk-fuelled repertoire is wildly eclectic, ranging from New Orleans inspired swing to heavy rock riffs, and since their beginnings in the ratty alleyways of London’s Soho, the band has evolved into a wild groove machine.
Their new album, “I Crave Affection Baby, But Not When I Drive” is released on November 29th 2018.
Musically inspired by bands from the British invasion of the 60s and artists such as Tom Waits, Blur, Randy Newman and Queens Of The Stone Age, and with lyrics influenced by 20th Century American Literature, specifically the Beat Generation and Gonzo journalism, Tankus the Henge defy categorisation. Their hair-raising show, like no other, has to be seen and heard to be believed. Like a psychedelic, rock n roll octopus – only with four more legs.
Band Interests
Rock n roll, shoe golf, blindfold piano, fried catfish po boy.

Milk Chocolate Cupcake filled with malted milk chocolate buttercream and a Whopper malted milk ball, topped with malted milk chocolate buttercream, a whopper and a chocolate dipped potato chip...when you crave salty and sweet, and don't we always crave cupcake??
Crave Cupcakes
We'll start our tour in the Kensingon neighbourhood, located just north of the river and starting at 10th Street NW
When you need a sugar boost at the start of the day, head to Crave. (If you go too late in the day they are often sold out of their daily baking.) The lineup can extend outside the store and down the street, but these cupcakes are worth it. I've often ordered dozens of their mini cupcakes for events in UPPERCASE... all you have to do is hint at Crave Cupcakes and a crowd will gather!
1107 Kensington Road NW
and #120 815 17th Avenue SW
See for yourself. I acted like their ultimate fanboy and had a photo taken with them, which probably made them all feel big time.
