Mrs Drysdale's Circus

Mrs Drysdale's Circus Mrs. Drysdale's Circus is an ongoing "Narrative Sculptural Installation" by Paul Burke and Anna Gustafson of Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Q: Who is Mrs.

Drysdale and why does she have a circus? A: Several years ago Paul Burke and Anna Gustafson created the sculptural English matron, Mrs. Drysdale, and her three pugs. Shortly after, came Bridgett, her granddaughter, and her wooden Scotties. Bridgett asked for a stuffed rabbit, so Paul carved that for her as well and gave it the name Jeremy. Jeremy then asked for more stuffed animal friends, and wha

t can we say... those friends asked to put on a circus! Drysdale agreed to give the circus her name and be the owner and manager. And the amazing and never-before-seen circus acts just keep coming!
