Sunday

On Sunday, March 21 -the Vernal equinox - artist Cynthia O’Brien from Ottawa will map out the constellation of Virgo – the virginal hope for the future – with oversized clay fortune cookies.  She’ll then go on to ‘sow’ the field with small edible fortune cookies – all to be left to dissolve with the snow and to ‘seed’ the field with hopes and fortunes for the future. The event will take place at fieldwork - the outdoor, ‘gallery’ located on a country road, in a field near Maberly that has become home to rotating seasonal art installations.  This is fieldwork‘s spring offering.  O’Brien’s performance will begin at 2pm at the site.  All are welcome to help celebrate the arrival of fieldwork’s spring installation by joining us for this performance and the opening to follow.  Soup and beverage will be served free of charge.
