Last September I began a Masters in Art Education at Concordia University. While I've certainly been a busy girl this year with papers to write and undergraduate students to grade, in my studio courses I continued to experiment with my new favourite medium; handmade paper I have also revived to my usage of encaustics . There is something particularly fascinating about the combination of the two textures. Clothing has continued to be an obsession of mine. The airing of the private and personal is expressed in "Underwear on the Line" shown above. Look for the upcoming issue of Arc Poetry magazine which will feature a new work with similar subject with a bit of twist.
An assigned theme in the past winters studio course, Culture/Nature, has also lead to new developments in subject matter; maps. This was perhaps a natural progression due to my interest in city spaces and the phenomenology of space. It has also provided an excellent opportunity to become familiar w
ith my new home Montreal.
Another school project in a course entitled "Narrative History" lead to a very rewarding collaboration with my classmate Renee Jackson. Our task was to interview one another focusing on a chosen question related to art education. We were then to communicate this experience through a collaborative work of art. In no time Renee and I discovered a mutual interest in Surrealism. Using the game "exquisite corpse" we conversed on a series of themes which eventually lead to an installation and performance entitled "The Conversation Umbrellas." This summer I am working on a website which will showcase the arts based research projects of the whole class. Look for a link in the near future.
great.
