Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Zelde Grimm

In the wild world of Zelde Grimm’s pen-and-ink drawings, you never know what you might find. It might be a topless Gov. Peter Shumlin lifting weights inside the belly of a hairy bear. It could be a bunny working on its memoirs at a typewriter inside a swan. You might even find a tiny man playing the sousaphone on a grassy knoll inside a mouse. Grimm calls her work “slightly macabre but highly whimsical.” We dare you to make it through her show, “Animals With Things Living in Their Stomachs,” at Burlington’s Speaking Volumes without a good chuckle. Through July 31. Pictured: “Mouse With Sousaphone Player on a Grassy Knoll.”
