SNEAK PEEK AT IMAGES IN EXHIBITION\u00a0 (more to come)<\/p>\n

Possible Outcome<\/strong> is a body of work comprised of prints created using screenprint, linocut, collograph and lithographic processes.\u00a0 Influenced stylistically by fin-de-si\u00e8cle art and literature, and by the domestic workings of her own family, Laura Peturson\u2019s <\/strong>prints present a vision of childhood based in both reality and fiction.\u00a0 These works capture and examine the expectations and sentiments placed upon very young girls. Each print depicts a child or children engaged in introspective play, often with objects that are commonly viewed as feminine.\u00a0 In selected prints, the girls have been inserted compositionally into reproductions of 18th-century paintings.\u00a0 A toddler reads in front of a Jacques Louis David reproduction taped to the wall of her nursery.\u00a0 A little girl holds a shadow puppet as she stands amongst Ingres reproductions littered across the floor.\u00a0 These neoclassical paintings reference a heroic male ideal and present the girls with a differently gendered possibility from their surroundings.\u00a0 In addition to the narrative aspect of the work, the prints deal with formal elements, such as pattern, colour and the tension between illusory space and a flat, silhouetted aesthetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Laura Peturson received her MFA from the New York Academy of Art, New York in 2005 and a BFA from York University, Toronto in 2002.\u00a0 She lives and works in Callander, Ontario and is an Assistant Professor of Fine Art at Nipissing University, specializing in printmaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Working from a melding of memory and fantasy, Kasia Czarnota\u2019s <\/strong>glass works are inspired by family relationships, childhood and the tiny but wondrous moments that make up a day in a young life. Kasia Czarnota is a sculptor concentrating primarily in the mediums of kiln cast and blown glass. She attended Sheridan College Institute\u2019s Crafts and Design Glass Program and her sculptural practice involves image and object manipulation that play with glass\u2019 various qualities, including granular delicacy on one level and unique transparency on the other. An award winning artist, Czarnota\u2019s work was recently exhibited at the Cheongju International Craft Biennale in South Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
