I'm delighted to be exhibiting part of Sift with Art Spin and Toronto Waterfront as part of Desire Lines.

Here are the details: 

Art Spin will also be presenting, in partnership with Waterfront Toronto, a free and exciting group exhibition titled Desire Lines, showcasing the work of some of our most notable regional artists presenting artwork from a wide variety of disciplines. This exhibition will be responding to themes that deal with the highly nuanced dynamic of place making and what constitutes the concept of home, as well as exploring our complex and storied relationship to our waterfront. This exhibition will take place in a massive 8000 sqft. warehouse at 291 Lake Shore Boulevard East.

Artists include: 

Karen Miranda Abel, Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins, Kaitlyn Bourden, Hannah Busse, Paul Chartrand, Nicole Clouston, Naomi Dodds, Anna Eyler, Chris Foster, Young & Giroux, Sarah Kernohan, Alex McLeod, Daniel Rotsztain, Lauren Schaffer, Chris Hanson & Hendrika Sonnenberg, Sheldon Storey, Jessica Thalmann, Tough Guy Mountain, and VSVSVS.

Dissipate - Galerie AVE

Dissipate 35, Pigment print on Hahnemühle museum etching paper, 2017

The works in this exhibition are based on memories of nature, which I approach with a sense of wonder, reverence, awe and mystery. My drawings and collages evoke certain landscapes and geological processes, exploring how materials settle into place over time. They draw inspiration from my observations of rocks, erosion, and the large- and small-scale changes that waves create along various shorelines.

Executed in graphite, the drawings in Dissipate record the lift, drag and back-and-forth movement of sediment as waves carry it, never deposited in the same position twice. I record small actions and traces along with larger sweeping marks.

My collages explore how rocks can be reconstructed from the fragments that remain after the processes of erosion and collapse have taken place. Using pieces of photographs of rocks that I was unable to bring home from Nova Scotia, I have built new rock surfaces, imagining what they may look like before they break down or how they may appear different after waves wear them down.

Opening reception: Thursday March 16 from 6 - 9 PM.
