Event Description

Balancing on a Thread
is the definitive biography of one of Canada's most internationally respected and loved artists, Pat Martin Bates. "PMB", as she is known to everyone, is a uniquely flamboyant and charismatic figure, whose life is marked by a thirst for adventure: re-tracing the route of Alexander the Great, sailing as a deckhand on a replica of Darwin's ship, HMS Beagle, or camping by the tomb of the 13th century poet Rumi. Building on these experiences, she created a body of magical, compelling work that combines complex ideas, philosophies and mythologies with transformative new artistic techniques, many of which she poineered herself.

The author, Patricia Bovey, one of Canada's most prominent art historians, is a former director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
