Crafted Realities will be Unreal!

December 5th Gallery 111 will be hosting the work of Jesse Bromm along with some new mixed media textiles by myself.  I first saw Jesse's work at the Artist Project 2 years ago and again this summer at the Toronto Outdoor Show.  There is something extremely playful about his work, and yet layers of meaning come to the work when you spend time investigating his juxtaposition of materials.  What I didn't realize originally is that Jesse actually hand blows his own glass containers for his work.  It is this level of craftsmanship that I would like to bring to my own practice. I am really excited to see how his miniature vignettes will look beside my enlarged photos of embroidery hoops.  

Fabricated Landscapes seen as Notable in Toronto

Well coverage of the Toronto Artist Project still filters in from different publications both off and online.  I received a little bit of recognition on the Notable blog as they showcased my piece called "Marsh "  in their second image.  I would've loved it if they could've shown my name at some point.  Oh well, I will take what I can get.  http://notable.ca/toronto/shop/The-Artist-Project-2012/ 

Now back from a week in Nicaragua, I am right back to work composing new works for my group show Conveyed at the Mad and Noisy Gallery in Creemore, Ontario, as well as working on 3 new fabricated landscapes for Marlow Gallery in April.  We decided to switch out my show Process-ed after a month which will give Barrie and opportunity to see my series of local landscapes starting April 11th.
