Local artist Murray Anderson is auctioning off ornamental iron pieces representing the pandemic, people lost, and a united Canada. The first iron piece, an 8 ft x 4 ft trellis, is now available and will be auctioned off in support of Kawartha Lakes Food Source. The colours used represent the following sacrifices:
Gold — police and military
Blue — the people of Nova Scotia via Saint Andrew’s Cross
Red — all of our hearts across Canada, whole or broken
White — first line health and other workers that bind us together
Black — the road we were on prior to the pandemic
For an idea of scale, the wooden fence in the background is over 5 1/2 feet tall. The trellis can be viewed at 99 Lindsay Street, Fenelon Falls (behind the Gift & Gallery). To contact Murray and find more information about the auction, visit his page on Facebook, Stellar Creations Mechanical & Metalworking. 100% of proceeds are going to Kawartha Lakes Food Source.
