Sammy Sammy, the legend of Hornby Island has come to grunt, despite his urglngs that grunt should come to him. "Bring them all up here", he said, to his Place of the Woods where he creates his masterpieces of folk art. I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, l*m far away from home If the people don't like me they can leave me alone I eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry If the whiskey don't kill me I will live till I die For those who have never heard of him, Sammy Sammy Is a poet, philosopher, troubadour, cowboy who makes sculptures out of re-lnforced concrete that are "suitable for decorations In flower beds or lawns". He works with cement, moss, concrete and pa1nt(among other things) to create raw, stark pieces of folk art. At the age of seventy I was still a terror, Still a live wire that began to know fame. And my motor still runs with whiskey, Though some nitwits think me insane. He has published a book of poetry, the contents of which reflect his venerable folk sensibility. As befitting a "descendant of religion and nobility" and a legend In his own time, he has also published the story of his life. Both will be available at grunt during the exhibit.
