Ban Righ Noon Hour Speaker Series presents Drifting
with Vanessa Noller, Artist. Vanessa’s work tends to retain a comical
nature, and usually personifies various objects/plants/etc. In this case,
the characterizations focus on the inanimate items that she recalls from
her memories associated with her recently deceased grandfather. These paintings
are of the objects' views on the scenes (as well as of the vagueness of
her own memories). 12 Noon at the Ban Righ Womens Resource Centre, 32 Bader
Lane. Free admission, everyone welcome. 613-533-2976 www.queensu.ca/dsao/ind/banrigh.

offer the advantages of an extra car without all the burdens. 12 Noon at
