Drawing opens a route to my unconscious where I depict the illusory nature of existence with poetic noir. The internal and external worlds enter and exit one another. The immediacy of ink is a perfect medium for expressing casualties of remembrance. These drawings are not an illustration of ideas but rather manifestations of a moment in reality \u2013 a fragment of altered consciousness. Lines mimicking the fluidity of a brushstroke document the workings of psyche and shifting emotional realities. Marks on paper scratch like a machete hacking through the jungle of ego and existentialism to reach the raw edges of myth.<\/p>\n<p>Artist website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevenmccabe.ca\">www.stevenmccabe.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>October 26 \u2013 November 6, 2011<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening: Thursday, October 27, 7\u201310pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Propeller Centre for Visual Arts<\/strong><br \/>\nNorth Gallery<\/p>\n<p>Multidisciplinary artist Steven McCabe presents 70 pen &#038; ink drawings created during 2010 &#038; 2011 plus video installation based upon his most recent short film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=4197\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4197"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4197\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4199,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4197\/revisions\/4199"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
