8. “TIMMINS”, 16 X 20″ Acrylic by Karina Douglas-Takayesu April 08, 2020
This painting was created to go towards a Facebook greeting from the staff at the Timmins Public Library. Each staff member picked a word from the phrase, “DEAR PATRONS WE MISS YOU! STAY SAFE AND KEEP READING! FROM THE TIMMINS PUBLIC LIBRARY STAFF”, and then made a sign to hold up with a picture of themselves. The photos were then put together in a collage and posted online on April 06, 2020. (The original estimated date the Library would re-open.)
The collage can be viewed here.
If you notice that the black looks quite intense, the reason is that the paint is Black 3.0, designed by Stuart Semple. It is the blackest paint available to public.

1. One Thousand Origami Cranes – In Progress (62 in this photograph). Karina Douglas-Takayesu – March 27, 2020
Karina is working on making 1000 origami cranes for a Library Display commemorating 75 years since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945. A Japanese legend says that if you string 1000 origami cranes together, you will be granted a wish by the gods. In 1955, a young girl named Sadako Sasaki was diagnosed with Leukemia, as a result of being about 1 mile (1.6 km) away from Ground Zero at Hiroshima at the age of 2. She spent her final months folding over 1000 cranes in a wish to be well again. She succumbed to her illness at age 12 on October 25, 1955. In 1958, a statue of her holding an origami crane was unveiled at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.
