Christine Comeau

I’ve written my own press releases before, so this is the first time someone does it for me and I am so grateful that I am a magnet for miracles.

“Struts Gallery & Faucet Media Arts Centre is pleased to host a presentation by current Ease Down the Road Artist in Residence, Christine Comeau. Please join us Tuesday, October 13 from 5 - 7 pm for an informal artist talk and seasonal refreshments. Christine has been working in the Studio at 7 Lorne Street, since September 12, developing a variety of multi-media projects. Patchworks, her research into personal narratives related to clothing, will manifest into a new web-based project compiling locally recorded stories. Christine will also launch a new cooking zine with a foreword by Dr. Pipit Alswater, and possibly even screen a selection of new video work or give a lecture on a selection of her favourite subjects.

Christine is originally from Quebec City but now resides in Halifax where she maintains an active and interdisciplinary social art practice. A gifted storyteller with a wry sense of humour, her talk promises to be an informative and interesting account of her experiences and experiments in Sackville, from drawing and baking to volunteering at the Salvation Army. This event is free and open to the public, stop by after work for some fascinating conversation and delicious baked goods.”
