Anne Linton
Red can have many different associations but in creating this piece I have focused on the attention-grabbing qualities that this colour is known for - loud, bold, vibrant, exciting. I think of ‘Ring Toss’ as some demented, graffitied carnival game – with rules that are unknowable.

Anne Linton is a collage artist, sculptor and creator of objets de curiosité. In the distant past Anne attended the fine arts program at Queen’s University. Her creative energy over the last few decades has been directed to the culinary world where she worked as a chef. Anne has always been a passionate collector with a particular interest in things from the natural world as well as objects that have been shaped by the forces of nature. Her inspiration comes from such diverse sources as the 16th-century paintings of composite heads by Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, shell grottos, the visual art of Mexico’s Day of the Dead celebration and Inuit sculptures built of stone, bone, antler and sinew. Anne has exhibited recently in several local group shows. She lives and works in Kingston, Ontario.
