Cacher pour mieux montrer

Last week we installed Cacher pour mieux montrer in Saskatoon. The temporary installation covers public art in the city for 3 weeks, bringing it back to attention and starting conversation about public art. The weather was very clement, considering the time of year, and the public's reaction was really positive and supportive. Here are a few pictures of the work in progress:

Tomorrow we're heading to Saskatoon for a new project. We're looking forward to the drive through the Prairie and to exploring this city for a couple of days. More on the project soon...
