Just Off the Street Art

Woman Warrior & Wolf

A MAGICAL WORK OF ART

Walking along Queen Street, through a door thrown open to the world, this appeared on a wall.

Looking in, I asked & was granted permission to photograph it for my blog.

The yellowness on 1 side is due to an incandescent light bulb.

Magically, the woman transcends into a wolf.

Are indigenous women allowed to wear the headdress?

Times Are Changing

Tammy Cook-Searson, chief of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band, received her headdress as a gift from the community.

Derek Nepinak, Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs says: “At some point, indigenous people need to sit down and have a discussion about the headdress, and have that discussion openly, under the light of day, amongst all of our people,”

A wall behind had another wonderful image.

The artist: Upon inquiry, I was told “One of the guys that works here.”

ANGLED SHOTS

Old Wolf Fence

So, it’s the fence that’s old, and it makes the wolf look old.

The slats are warped and uneven.

The entire fence slants to one side along the alley.

The alley itself is uneven, slopes downward so minimally I didn’t know I was crooked until looking through the camera lens.

The wood is rotting.

The paint is chipped, peeling and punctured.

I just love it!

Blue Wolf

I fell in love with this classic piece of alley art the second I laid eyes on it!

I shot from across the oddly busy alley, by a parked car. Parked cars offer a huge bit of protection from moving traffic.

The car also worked well for reflections. Note the woman’s face at the bottom of the reflection. This is from a mural I posted last year, & it’s on the side street. Cool, huh?

Then I shot strange angles from the side of the street the mural was painted on.

Sherrie’s Fairies

It had been our best muralling day, and then the fairies were a bonus!

Sherrie and I had done the Exchange District, the weather was gorgeous and “The Rocket” was purring like a kitten.

We head out to grab a Train Mural that had been obscured by a semi last time I’d been in the Peg. That’s when we found the Fairies.

Sherrie had to stay with “The Rocket” while I shot. She was cool with that, as she was idling by this graffed-out dumpster she fancied.

Even though it had been fouled by a giant tag, the mural was splendid.
