Large Drawings-Gathering

Exhibition at One-On-One Gallery, Medicine Hat, March 2 - March 27, 2018

​

The exhibition comprised a series of large-scale representations of humans, animals, clothing and nakedness — pinned directly to the walls of the gallery.

​

The installation explored relationships between clothing and nakedness, and brought together seemingly unrelated subjects, as if asking viewers, what is the link between two bathers, a helmeted man, a wrapped infant, sleeping pigs, and children wearing gas masks?

​

I do not wish to construct works that are literal, but to express something of the awe and the anxiety that I feel in a world that is increasingly chaotic and uncertain.

​

I wish to create works that reflect not only the unique physicality of my subjects (human or animal,) but also their dignity and the singular gravity they seem to project.
