You can see the French court influence in the pannier underhoop which makes the wide silhouette. A good reason why French doors were designed!

Allan Geske
North Nassau Printmakers
100 Arthur St, Unit 523 (just opposite the elevator)

Allan Geske has been a printmaker since the mid-1970s and he employs various techniques in his art such as etching, engraving, relief and mixed media. His images often include the prairie landscape: maps, charts and blueprints that locate our place in the world and language that integrates the letters, words, symbols and markings of the draughtsman, poet and educator.
Geske has traveled extensively and his prints are metaphors that create disparate associations relating to his sense of home and place of origin.
