The The Lure emerges from olfactory investigations borrowing from fact and fiction. Inspired by the mirage of aromas from perfume salons that attempt to seduce passers-by, Janet Bellotto entertains the gallery with an installation of illuminating and fragrant objects and scintillating video. At a time when illnesses travel instantaneously around the globe, scent emerges and vanishes like a mirage, and yet resonate memories and emotions. The objects in Bellotto\u2019s work acts in the tradition of aromatherapy while entertaining how certain smells can conjure up memories of place. The Lure attempts to tap into the history of per fumum (Latin) \u2013 which translates as \u201cthrough the smoke\u201d, where aromatic smells have been used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes.<\/p>\n

She graduated from the Sculpture\/Installation program from the Ontario College of Art & Design, Toronto, and received an MFA in Sculpture\/Studio Arts from Concordia University.
