One of Andrea Hooge’s cutouts for the “I’ll Be Back… to the Future”

This piece, along with several others by Andrea Hooge, will be tiled together to fill the wall. I’m pretty excited about how it will all come together. This is gonna be pretty great – probably the best in the gallery so far. “I’ll Be Back… to the Future” opens January 11, 2013 at the HAWC Pop-Up Gallery (752 E Broadway, Vancouver).
