WSAG is pleased to present Robin Laws Field: “Surfaces: The Stories and the Photos”<\/strong> from MARCH 20\u201331. Art Party with artist in attendance to be held on SATURDAY, MARCH 24 (2\u20134 p.m.) at 270 Wellington Street West, Toronto.<\/p>\n

Throughout her travels around the world, Robin Laws Field became fascinated by the colour and texture of surfaces; everything from floors, pavements, walls, fences and rusting freight cars, to tree trunks, doors, shutters, and footprints in the sand all got a second look.\u00a0 Exquisite little bits of abstract art surrounded the artist, crying out to be photographed and taken into her studio for a mixed-media (but mostly threaded needle) interpretation.<\/div>\n
Laws Field notes that \u201ccolour and texture pull me in and keep me up at night until I\u2019ve figured out how to make them mine; and then how to picture them so that others can see what I see, be it beautiful, ugly, political, sentimental, funny or just a scintillating juxtaposition of bits and pieces that somehow please. And, because much of my inspiration has arrived in places not my own, there is always a memory of place attached.\u201d<\/div>\n

Drop by the gallery and view Robin’s exquisite fibre artworks\u2014over 25 pieces available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
