<span class="style_1"><span class="style_1">Caterina Silenzi creates her work by combining </span>animal remains with ceramics. She uses the ancient Japanese technique of Raku, a long and complex
procedure whose main elements are fire, air, water and earth. Combined with extreme temperatures the firing is akin to a crematorium, turning the craft
into a sort of shamanistic ritual and creating a new life.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="style_1">I love the understated narrative of Caterina's work. Her work adeptly evokes emotion from the viewer through the tragic and beautiful juxtaposition of the animal remains and the new creation. This paradoxical presentation is the embodiment of beauty and sadness, life and death and traps the viewer in a space somewhere between the two. There is no definitive beginning or end in her portrayal of the "circle of life" and the point where the two become one is a place we aren't often forced to examine.</span><br />
<span class="style_1"><br /></span>
<span class="style_1">Although she hasn't posted anything new in quite some time, I really hope to see more of her work. Maybe her absence is because she is busy crafting a new story and delivering us the magic of another life reborn.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="style_1">You can see more of Caterina's work on her <a href="http://www.caterinasilenzi.com/Sito/HOME.html" target="_blank">website.</a></span><br />

Though composed of thousands of straight sewn lines reminiscent of crosshatching, the final pieces are generally organic in form from the silhouettes of dogs and animals to more complex landscapes. You can see more of her work over on <a href="http://base.ddab.org/nastasja-duthois" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5d9121; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">BASE</a> and on her <a href="http://multi-prises.fr/perso/nastasja/?message=1" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5d9121; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">website</a>. </div>

I found artist Lyndie Douthe on Pinterest. I know I know you're starting to think I have an addiction or something. I was struck by the delicacy and subject matter. Severed fingers, tiny love letters, anatomical bits, illness, rotting fruit complete with flies, and skeletons don't seem to be common subjects for fibre artists.<br />
<br />
I absolutely love being surprised by work that doesn't fit a mold or into one of my preconceived notions of what it is. By now you all know I love the dead things, anatomy, and boxes of bones but these objects were just so delightfully unusual that I had to share them.<br />
<br />
Lyndie Douthe's <a href="http://lyndiedourtheworks.blogspot.ca/p/anatomie.html" target="_blank">website</a> showcases her work and I love being able to get a look at another artists' process. I also love being able to see the evolution of her work over the course of a few years. It is a different take on the memento mori theme both in subject matter and from a craft that is historically and canonically dominated by women. Her website contains her <a href="http://lyndiedourtheworks.blogspot.ca/p/anatomie.html" target="_blank">blog</a>, written in French where she talks about her work and travels and documents the process behind her creations as well as a store where you can purchase something that tickles your fancy or request a custom piece. I have my eye on the "broken" hearts and just might have to order me one!<br />
<br />
You can read more about her (in English) <a href="http://magazine.seymourprojects.com/2012/09/lyndie-dourthe-of-a-curious-nature/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

When I first moved to the North in 2010, I read a newspaper article about a small Aboriginal community that was starting up a print studio as a way to encourage their residents to make art, tell stories, and record their history and culture.<br />
<br />
The first workshops that were done there were <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyotaku" target="_blank">gyotaku</a> or making prints from the bodies of real fish. I thought it was an interesting way to introduce a group to printmaking while still incorporating an essential element of the life, culture of the area and people.<br />
Ever since I read that article, I have been interested in seeing it with
my own eyes and I serendipitously had the chance to visit it in person while
on duty travel for work.<br />
During my extremely short visit, I had the opportunity to meet <a href="http://gavinrenwick.org/biography-2/" target="_blank">Gavin Renwick</a>, who in partnership with the Sambaa Ke Dene "invited printmakers Paul Harrison, of the Visual Research Centre,
University of Dundee, and Scott Hudson, of Dundee Contemporary Arts, to
develop a series of training workshops based on, and through, the medium
and practice of printmaking."[1]<br />
<br />
I sat down with Gavin for a few minutes to chat about printmaking, the Sambaa K'e Studio and their plans for the future. I told him about the <a href="http://circumpolarprints.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">print exchange</a> I started as a way to bring together northern printmakers from around the globe who were more likely to be working in isolation. The goal of the exchange project is to auction off one of the works from each edition with the proceeds of the auction going to help a remote studio purchase supplies. <br />My hope was to donate the proceeds from the first exchange to the Sambaa K'e Print Studio. I invited them to participate and hope that I will have a few artists from Trout Lake participate.<br />

He describes his work as a hybrid of fine art photography and documentary photography and his images can be quite startling yet beautiful much like the arctic itself. The photos below are from Yukon, NWT, and Alaska.<br />

Far from an icy wasteland, the arctic is a fragile yet unforgiving wilderness populated with resilient people, plants and animals that thrive in some of the most challenging conditions in the country. People in the arctic have a strong relationship with the land. The weather, the animals, and the hunt all feed into a strong emotional bond with the very ground under their feet. They are well aware of the richness and bounty of the arctic and with the demand for resources at an all time high, greed threatens to destroy this delicate balance. Peter Mather is there documenting these relationships, the land, the people, and all the other precious things that risk getting lost in the quest for more.<br />

Her works are mostly created by embroidery on linen but her subject matter is anything but traditional.<br />
<br />
I first saw her work posted on twitter as a woman putting her head into the mouth of a lion. When I opened the image I realized the entire lion was embroidered and after that I just had to know more and when I got to her website there were so many pieces that intrigued me I knew I had to feature her work on the Paper Coyote.<br />
<br />

There are so many aspects of her work that I find interesting and the most difficult part of all is not being familliar enough with Spanish to be able to read the description on her blog but the bits and pieces I can cobble together from the patchy Google translate indicated that Ana is indeed another artist interested in the relationships between animals and humans.<br />
<br />
She seems to take a different approach to her theory and from what I can sort of understand is that she sees the idea of "wild" as a collective Jung-ian dream, some vestage of a memory of when we ourselves were less civilized. and looking at her work it seems obvious that we are the vessels in which the dream of the wilderness is made real. The humans are all simple "empty" drawings in black and white and our true animal nature manifests when we behave in ways that activate that dream and connect us back to the animal part of ourselves: hunting, eating, or mating.<br />
<br />
There is struggle present as well depicted in literal wrestling matches or in the act of trying to remove a kitten from your nose. I can't say for sure by I interpret that struggle as a representation of the frustration at species being unable to communicate and the never ending jostling for domination and dominion.<br />
<br />
Check out her website and if you speak Spanish please feel free to leave a comment in the comment section if you can elaborate on her theories or artist statement. (comments are moderated to prevent spam so don't panic if you don't see it right away)<br />
<br />
You can see more of her work and read about it on <a href="http://anateresabarboza.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">her blog.</a><br />

I was struck by the heart-breaking photographs of zoo animals taken by Mitusko Nagone. As a kid I loved going to the zoo. It was always so exciting to see animals up close and the petting zoo was even better because you could actually physically connect with an animal. There is something ignited inside a person when they make that connection to an animal, the physical contact, the body heat, breath, wet-nosed nuzzle or even a sharp kick or nip or scratch all leave something in us changed.<br />
<br />

For me I am unsure about what exactly I felt besides excitement when at the zoo but I think there was always some sort of unease, an uncomfortable feeling lingering that suggested something just wasn't quite right. I think that is exactly the moment, that latent childhood image that Mitsuko has captured. These images evoke that same uneasy and feeling as if she has drawn out that single frozen moment from our childhood memories when we could not yet articulate what felt wrong.<br />
<br />
I imagine that I saw these images or others like them hundreds of times when walking around a zoo: an animal looking out from behind bars, pacing in it's cage, isolated and surrounded by concrete instead of earth. only now having them frozen in time and re-presented to me can I see what sort of horrors truly exist for the prisoners of many of these facilities.<br />
<br />
With so many repeated atrocities occurring against animals around the world I wonder if I will ever live to see their liberation. Will I ever see animals like chimpanzees, whales, dolphins, ravens, or any of the other thousands of sentient beings offered their sovereignty, dignity, and freedom to live by their own will released from the domain of humans. I guess when I look at any work about animals I wonder about that.<br />

Whether it is through Galleries West Magazine, stumbling through Pinterest or having someone share something with me via Facebook I am constantly inspired by my fellow creators, especially the ones that stray into the realm of morbid decay.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I grabbed a copy of Galleries West Magazine after running a workshop at the local artist community centre and as I flipped through it I happened to see an advertisement for Barbara Heller's show. At first the image didn't register but when I looked again and the threads wove themselves together I was astonished and excited to see more.<br />
<br />
Of course I immediately did a search for more images of her work hoping so much that this wasn't a one off. And I wasn't disappointed. I discovered a handful of boldly coloured tapestries with delicate images of dead birds which happens to be one of my favourite subjects.<br />
<br />
I find Heller's work interesting on a number of levels. First I love the images, the placement and the fine line work that seems to appear and disappear from the surface. I can't even imagine how difficult it must have been to plan out and create an image with such subtle detail, as if she planned out every single stitch. The delicacy of the decay she evokes in the surface is incredible and I imagine that from afar for just a moment one might mistake them for paintings or drawings.<br />
<br />
Secondly I love the ideas that seem to merge in her work. Without having read anything about the artists intention I think of things like death shrouds and historical records, hunting tapestries and flannel sleeping bag linings. I want to imagine these as patterns for some reason.<br />
<br />
I look forward to seeing more of this work and secretly hope she stitches up a few more animals.<br />
<br />

Another Pinterest discovery was Karin Ceelen who makes gorgeous, delicate etchings with intricate line work and subtle tone. I find her work compelling in its texture which remind me a lot of maps and geography. I love the cutout and layering as well which add richness and layers to the pieces. </div>

I am not sure how or why I never learned about this incredible artist when I was in art school and the more art I seem to "discover" on my own makes me more and more angry about the canon of art excluding and without mention absolutely incredible women artists. But before I launch any further into a rant about the gaping holes in the canon of western art let's meet Lee Bontecou.<br />
<br />

Lee Bontecou was a very successful artist in the late 1950's and the 1960's. She was represented by New York Galleries and her shows consistently sold out. Much of her work is in permanent collections in places like New York, Washington, Chicago, and San Francisco. She disappeared from the gallery world after her daughter was born, teaching at Brooklyn College and working in solitude and isolation for nearly thirty years. A retrospective of her work both the early sculptural work and her later works on paper was exhibited at the Hammer Museum in LA in 2003. The show later travelled to MOCA in San Francisco and to MOMA in New York in 2004.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the early part of her career she worked mainly in sculpture creating massive pieces which project off the gallery wall toward the viewer. She combines traditional materials of painting, canvas and her pieces hang on the wall like a traditional painting but they are anything BUT traditional. Her pieces include welded and stitched canvas and hide which feel industrial and mechanical yet organic in a terrible haunting sort of way. Each piece contains at its centre a vortex completely void of light – literally a black hole.<br />
<br />
She was greatly influences by the trauma of World War 2 and later by space exploration and the world of astronomy but she refuses to label herself or her work. It is very clear that she <a href="http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/lee-bontecou-doesnt-care-what-you-think/Content?oid=914734" target="_blank">doesn't care what you think</a> of her work and struggles against anyone who may try to define it.<br />
<br />
Lee Bontecou just celebrated her 83 birthday and is still working away in her studio doing whatever the hell she pleases, no doubt. I will leave you with a quote that struck me as vital to understanding the creative process: <br />

I have a number of "new" artists I'll be featuring this year so make sure to join the blog to stay tuned. <br />
<br />
Rebecca Haines is as interested in animals as I am. She has lived and worked in Wyoming, Colorado California and New Mexico. Her work is an exploration of that moment when humans and animals meet. At that moment when Animals and humans share a space there is the potential to learn something if you can put down your iPhone camera and stop talking.<br />
<br />
Haines work invites you to look more closely, to stop and meditate on the moment of interaction with a wild animal so that you might be able to activate that memory of wild in your own DNA and connect with the natural world from which we have so neatly excised ourselves.<br />
<br />
Take some time to really look at the shifting image and delicate subtleties of her work and you might come away with a moment of understanding.<br />
<br />
You can see her work <a href="http://www.mesart.com/biography.jsp.que.artist.eq.2732.shtml" target="_blank">here</a> or visit the <a href="http://www.tomrossgallery.com/" target="_blank">Tom Ross Gallery</a>.<br />

I never expected it would become such a source of inspiration for me and my work. I have discovered a handful of incredible print artists there in the last little while and I am excited to share them with you.<br />
<br />
The first one is Ronald Ceuppens, a Belgian printmaker. Unfortunately for me, his site is in Belgian and I cannot quite grasp the exact impetus for his work but that hardly matters once you see it. I am particularly interested in the arrangement of print fragments and collage elements in his "collections". I am also fascinated by his mixed media work about children.<br />
<br />
His work is excellently crafted and evokes a sense of memory or dream although the results are often unsettling. I am drawn to the <i>Dreamchild</i> object, what appears to be a doll body encased in leather with ceramic branches for arms. It is unclear if this "child" is a memory or manifestation of birth or death or a physical representation of an imagined spirit.<br />
<br />
Many of the pieces below are available in Ronald's Etsy Shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Fleurografie?ref=em" target="_blank">Fleurografie</a>. I highly recommend having a look at the work he has posted there. If you would like to see more of Ronald's work be sure to visit <a href="http://fleurografie.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">his blog</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>He likes long walks, hiking in the mountains or simply exploring the
city. The itineraries of his walks are found in his work, reduces to
their abstract form. Using sketches, drawings and objects collected
during his walks, Ronald makes the designs for his prints. Reproduced in
a repetitive manner they give rise to serial work in which each work
speaks individually. The reconstructions of images made up of such
fragments is a way of preserving the memory of a place The artist
manages to translate nostalgia for the past into a search for future
pleasure. Ronald Ceuppens creates an abstract world, filled with the sensitive melody of silence and serenity.</i></span> </span></div>

<a href="http://roxannegoffin.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Roxanne Goffin</a> is an artist currently completing her MA at University of Western England. Her series <i>Disembodied</i> combines paper cutouts layered over experimental etchings using paint stripper on acrylic plates to create an effect similar to traditional acid etching techniques.<br />
<br />
I am fascinated by the way the cut forms interact with the random patterns created by the <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">chemical reaction on the plate. The patterns remind me simultaneously of landscape and decomposition. The way the cut paper creates such fine borders and edges around the space yet seem to hover over or create a surface above the chaos. I love the idea of internal chaos whcih suggests both the anxiety of society in dealing with topics of death and the chaos resulting from mans attempt to place rigid forms upon the natural.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I look forward to seeing more of her work in the future. Visit <a href="http://roxannegoffin.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">her website</a> and have a look at some of her other work.</span><br />

I can't even remember where I stumbled across the works of Yukon artist Rose Marie Scanlon but once I saw the first delicate watercolours about hunters I was hooked. When I think of watercolour I think of flowers and seascapes and delicate landscapes that play with light. Rose Marie's watercolours play more with darks both in tone and theme. I really really want to see these in person up close because there is no way these tiny digital images are doing these justice. <br />
<br />
If you have been reading this blog for any length of time then you know I have a soft spot for dead things, hunting, taxidermy and fine Canadian craftsmanship. Rose Marie Scanlon has created a series of works that look as if they are the antithesis of typical watercolour. The paintings seem to depict scenes of night, the subjects appearing like transparent ghosts in the darkness. The landscape evokes a northern feel and reflects her home in Yukon Canada. The themes are definitely Canadian and specifically rural in content. These paintings evoke the age old struggle between man and wilderness and have layer upon layer of narrative familliar to almost any rural-living Canadian.<br />
<br />
The masked figure appears in at least two paintings looking out directly at the viewer. I am intrigued by this figure. Who is this hunter? And what's with his sweater?! Presumably he is the one who has shot and killed the deer in the back of the pickup. Why is his face covered when most photos of a hunter with his bounty are not generally taken in disguise. <br />
<br />
Every time I look at these paintings I see something I didn't see before. Unfortunately the images just aren't large enough to really see the details and so I guess all I can do is go to Whitehorse and hope to see them up close.<br />
<br />
What do you think of these? Is there anything that stands out for you or that leaves you with questions?<br />

If you are a fan of Banksy, street art, graffiti or just clever digs at "the man" you are in luck this month because Banksy is hosting an entire exhibit in NYC: Better Out Than In. For his street residency, he will be creating a work a day for the month of October. The best part? He is using social media to document it and share it with those of us outside the art mecca.<br />
<br />
Each piece is documented and posted on <a href="http://instagram.com/banksyny#" target="_blank">Instagram</a> by user banksyny. Each artwork is also accompanied by a phone number which the "audience" can
call to hear a description of the work. This exhibition is being
presented in its entirety online at <a href="http://banksy.co.uk/" target="_blank">Banksy's official website</a> where you can listen to the phone messages by clicking on the link under each piece. you can even follow him on Twitter @banksyny and if you happen to see an original work (before it gets painted over) you can tag post it and tag it #banksyny.<br />
<br />
Although the first piece has already been painted over, it is unclear whether the clean up crew knew it was an original piece of work possibly worth millions of dollars. Original Banksy works chiseled from their original locations have sold for millions at auction despite the fact that taking a piece of public art and making it private (and bloody expensive) seems like a crime against the entire intent of the work.<br />
<br />
In my opinion this is a brilliant idea for a "residency" and exhibition. Not only is the art "out" on the street but it is also out in the sense that it will not belong to any one person as it is shared and ahred across social media and the internet. Any person with access to a cell phone or a computer now has access to watch and participate in an exhibition by a contemporary artist.<br />
<br />
I will be watching this exhibit unfold with excitement and anticipation and will be very interested to see how social media will contribute to the exhibition. The implications on the art world by making the art accessible and interactive may also be the beginnings of a shift away from the gallery world and essentially give art back to the people who need it most.<br />
<br />
What do you think? Are you excited to watch this unfold? Does it give you any ideas for how you might next interact with your audience?<br />

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Daphne Wright makes the most extraordinary delicate sculptures. Her work reminds me of both <a href="http://www.thepapercoyote.blogspot.ca/2011/07/beth-cavener-stitcher.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Beth Cavener Stitcher</span></a> and <a href="http://www.thepapercoyote.blogspot.ca/2011/03/kate-macdowell.html" target="_blank">Kate McDowell's</a> pieces. These are not ceramic however, they are a combination of marble dust and resin. Some pieces include silk embroidery thread and paint. I am particularly interested in the death masks she created from the corpses of animals. The pieces are beautiful and eerie and exist in that space where beauty and tragedy co-exist. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I suppose what really draws me to a lot of work is that very thing: the juxtaposition of two seemingly opposite ideas grappling for superiority the same space. Is the subject matter more overpowering than the beauty of the execution and rendering? For some people it will always be so and then I think it will be impossible for them to see the beauty of the object, in this case the body of a dead animal.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Daphne Wright's work is simultaneously an homage and a criticism. It is poetic and damning and beautiful and horrifying all at the same time. I absolutely love that you can feel the weight and flaccidity of the hanging lamb, fox and piglet despite them being cast in marble dust. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Unfortunately there is no artist website to link to though she is represented by <a href="http://frithstreetgallery.com/artists/bio/daphne_wright" target="_blank">Frith Street Gallery</a> in London.</div>

I found out about Heather Benning's Doll House project only after she set fire to it. I stumbled across the <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/manitoba/scene/other/2013/04/11/artist-burns-her-life-sized-dollhouse-to-the-ground/index.html#igImgId_67332" target="_blank">CBC story</a> quite by accident but I am glad I did. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see the project in real life though there are a number of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL8C4m7iHek" target="_blank">You Tube videos</a> documenting it. The initial project converted an old farm house into a life sized version of a doll house. The house was open to view through plexiglass on one side and filled with ephemera from the 1960s. If you happened across it in the middle of the prairie it might appear as if the occupants had perhaps fled from it. The house stayed exactly as Benning (re)created it for nearly six years.<br />

<br />
I am unsure why it was burned down instead of torn down though I do really like the idea of fire erasing it from the landscape. It seems to me to be a more authentic and natural form of erasure than tearing it down or letting it be destroyed by vandals. It is interesting too that fire isn't necessarily something one associates with a doll house so to set fire to a representation of childhood seems to also imply something a bit dark. I like that. <br />
<br />
If you have been following this blog for a while then you know how much I love narative projects. Whether the narrative is implicit or implied I love being able to imagine countless scenarios for a particular piece of work. I suppose this work allows me to imagine two separate bnarratives; the house as a museum on the prairie and the motivation and spectacle of a house fire.<br />
<br />
I love imagining the people who may have lived there; What did they do? What celebrations and tragedies did they experience during their time in the house? Where did they come from? Where did they go? What sorts of secrets are hidden in the walls?<br />
<br />
The Dollhouse is like a three dimensional memory. It makes me think of a half remembered dream you could re-visit over and over but access to specific and tactile information is denied by the plexiglass – much like one feels days after an intense dream. The Dollhouse project was also really interesting for me because I grew up on the prairies. My grandparents house was a lot like a museum; there were many artifacts kept alive within the walls of that prairie house. Pioneer spirits seemed to be content to lie quietly inside closets and in boxes tucked away under beds and and in basements.<br />

Heather Benning captured perfectly the prairie life and preserved it for passersby and pilgrims who traveled out of the city to recollect a piece of Canada's past. Her new work continues to explore memory, landscape and the idea of home. You can see more of her work on her website <a href="http://www.heatherbenning.ca/index.html" target="_blank">heatherbenning.ca</a><br />

I stumbled across this amazing and wonderful artist named Goody-B Wiseman who reminds me of a Yukon artist I will post about a bit later. Her small scale bronze sculptures are awesome and I really really hope that she is making more of them right now!<br />

I discovered that Wiseman attended NSCAD for her undergraduate degree before moving to San Fransisco to complete her MFA. I could not determine whether she is Canadian or American, not that it really matters, but it is interesting for me to track themes I am interested in across Canadian artists. She now lives in Maine and is working at raising a baby and building a home with her partner. And yes they are doing everything themselves.<br />
<br />
Goody-B Wiseman makes tiny bronze sculptures of children dressed as animals. That isn't ALL she does, she also makes works on paper and films but these little pieces have captured my imagination. The photos unfortunately are crap. Here's hoping that with the 30 or 40% take the gallery has they will invest in a competent photographer to do justice to their artists' work. (ok short rant over).<br />
<br />
I scoured the internet looking for more information about Goody-B but couldn't come up with very much that was recent or interesting aside from this little excerpt from an interview with <a href="http://www.akimbo.ca/hitlist/?id=115" target="_blank">Akimbo</a>:<br />

Old People & Animals</i></span></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>
</i></span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>I like old people and animals more than other people and
other things. They are wonderful, they are true, and they have excellent
stories.<br /><br />Old people are, in general, in a better position to be
good people and they are good people much more often then younger
people are. They’ve lived longer lives and have had time to practice
patience, empathy, observation, kindness, and generosity. Old people
have more and often better and longer stories. Stories are essential,
keepers of stories are precious, and patient and generous keepers of
better and longer and truer stories are my favourite. <br /><br />Animals
are, in general, in a good position to be better than people. They don’t
lie or cheat. They do steal, but I don’t mind. Animals activate some
ancient nature-magic for me and connect me to mythology. I prefer
anything that involves animals, especially stories. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: black;">After reading this am interested to know why the pieces are made with what appear to be child figures when she obviously has such an affection for the elderly. I wonder what the pieces would be like if the animators under the masks/costumes were old people instead of young people.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: black;">I find Wiseman's work and approach to life fascinating and I love the implicit narrative at work in her pieces. I love that they work together or as individuals and the story can change depending on which pieces are together or isolated. I also love that they fit in the palm of your hand and have weight. It is like when I was a kid and had some comfort carrying around a secret idol in my pocket that held a story only I could tell.</span></span><br />

Canadian artist Marc Seguin's 2007 series titled <i>Roadkill</i> is simultaneously terrifying and beautiful. It is difficult both in it's subject matter and its interpretation. Seguin's work is perhaps not so much about academic interpretation as it is about giving you a stiff punch in the gut. It is disturbing, unsettling, haunting and at the same time beautiful, sad, even wishful. Seguin's work is dark, and the narrative is not always clear but without question the works are powerfully evocative. Like it or not, there is no denying Marc Seguin's work is powerful.</div>

I love her work as it is not only brilliant in its conception but is also simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking. Her work is like laughing as the love of your life stabs you to death.<br />
<br />
Her series <i>The Group of Seven Awkward Moments</i> are little gems of wit and Canadian culture each staged in front of a different <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_Seven_%28artists%29" target="_blank">Group of Seven</a> Painting. She describes her work as follows:<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>It is through the use of the collective's iconic northern landscapes,
which have come to symbolize Canada as a nation, combined with scenes of
accidents, disasters, and bad weather that gives the work its edge. By
pairing the tranquility of traditional landscape painting with black
humour, the work conjures up topical and universally familiar landscapes
fraught with anxiety and contradictions. </i></span><br />

Her series that follwed The awkward moments was much darker and effectively opens the skeletal closet of the Canadian collective consciousness. The content for <i>A People's History</i> relates directly to a current or historical event and exposes the dark evils that lurk at the periphery of our history books. I may have been much more interested in learning history while in school if discussions about the issues found in Thorneycroft's work were introduced and even more interested if we'd udes her work to initiate discussion. While it is fine to read about the "facts" as we all know history is written by the victor and therefore many stories go unrecorded. She describes the ongoing series:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>With some of the research however, it became apparent the word
“awkward” was not applicable. The horrors that took place in First
Nations residential schools and orphanages like Mount St. Cashel,
Newfoundland, speak of atrocities that eradicate all humour. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>
</i></span><span style="color: #073763;"><i>I am in the process of completing the “atrocities” and working
towards an exhibition entitled “A People’s History”. The series is about
horrific events committed in Canada against our most vulnerable
citizens; the disadvantaged, the uneducated and the young. At the time
of each violation the victims were either ignored, disbelieved, or
considered expendable.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="color: black;">Thorneycroft's work is an interesting form of documentary, capturing imagined events with dolls as if recreating the events for a therapist. Perhaps her work is a therapeutic form in which we all can participate as each of these events leaves an indelible impression on us as Canadians and how we see ourselves.</span><i> </i></span><br />

If you have only recently discovered this little gem of a blog then you
may not know the affinity I have for coyotes and taxidermy. Any time I see an artist
using coyotes or coyote forms or any taxidermy "ephemera" really, I sometimes develop a little art crush. I usually end up spending a couple hours exploring an artists website and making notes and then in most
cases, they end up posted here. and again, I have stumbled or linked my way to the amazing and incredible Janice Wright Cheney. </div>
<br />I think I have mentioned my affinity for coyotes and animals and taxidermy. Janet's work is interesting because while her wolves/coyotes sometimes look more like weimaraners than wild animals I think it is intentional because her work blurs the lines between wild and domestic, as well as gender.Much of Janet's work involves combining a traditionally female craft (embroidery, tatting, knitting) with a form that suggests masculinity: the taxidermy form. The foam "carcass" is dressed up in "female" attire complete with jewellry and false eyelashes. The wild animals seem far more domestic in their lacy scarves and fur which appears more of a fashion statement than as a representation of them in thier "natural" state.<br />
<br />
It is interesting too that the ladies (which is a total assumption since we can't see all of their anatomy) are only half dressed either half skinned or half covered depending and when juxtaposed with the bones of the actual animals in small boxes much like museum specimens the question really does become about what remains. Placing these creatures out in a natural environment makes the question even more haunting.<br />
<br />
The felted flower covered bears are titled <i>Widow</i> and represent loss, grief and survival. A taxidermied bear is often posed in an aggressive stance speaking with some suggestion tot he prowess of the hunter who killed it. I have never seen a bear trophy mounted to depict a bear lost in thought or simply sitting and admiring its surroundings. These bears simultaneously represent the trophy, the monument, the conquer and yet something more delicate- a sadness, a memorial, a burial ritual. The flower covering the bears is a rose, hundreds of hand felted red, pink, and burgundy roses the flower of love. Generally the red rose is symbol of romantic love and the title hints at this loss as well "widow" suggesting the loss of a husband. What fascinates me even more is that bears do not mate for life – they do not marry, they do not have the matrimonial bond of humans nor do they even co-habitate yet there is no questioning the love and bond between a bear and her cubs. And that leaves me wondering if there is a subtext at play that perhaps the bear has suffered a loss and is more than simply a momunment to the fear and conquer human trophy.<br />

"Werewolf Stories" is the most recent iteration of the Self-portrait
Chronicles project, an ongoing interrogation of the ways in which selves
outrun their own self-representations, disappearing into the image as a
form of metaphysical promise. The images are self-portraits taken
while interacting with a wolf skin, illuminated predominantly with black
light. Situated somewhere between enlightenment myths of personal
transformation and nightmares of postnatural living, these images are
werewolf stories, confronting the awkward conflations of technology and
the imagination. </div>

Personally, I find these photos very meaningful. I am intrigued by the notion of "outrunning" oneself and the sharp edge of existence where humans and animals are indistinguishable. The other work featured here is titled "unbecomings" which suggests to me a transformation of becoming less of one thing and more of another. In this case is it less wolf or less man?</div>

Recently I had the opportunity to meet Canadian artist Betty Spackman and watch a presentation on her latest work <a href="http://www.pentictonartgallery.com/scms.asp?node=71&year=2010&exid=70" target="_blank"><i>Found Wanting</i>.</a><br />
<br />
This particular installation work is incredibly moving, extraordinarily well crafted and holds layer upon layer of meaning. I won't go and analyze it for you because it is apparent what the show is about, plus there is a video in the artists own voice so you can interpret the work for yourself.<br />
<br />
It is such a tragedy that it has only be exhibited twice. So friends and fellow bloggers, if you know any curators or gallery owners/operators looking for incredible interactive work, this show really needs to be exhibited instead of sitting in storage. It is incredible and timely and will wow audiences so let's see what we can do to make this happen.<br />
<br />
I wish I could see it in person but for now we will have to enjoy some photos and the short vimeo preview of a documentary being shot by Kate Bradford.<br />

It's been far too long since I've had time to scour the internet for artists that inspire. It has been months since I've had a chance to sit and write a post about anything, let alone spend time researching artists who tickle my peculiar taste. Yet mere hours into a relaxing internet surf session of art and architecture, I stumbled across this wholly inspiring artist.<br />
<br />
Ethan Hayes-Chute is a young artist whose installation work is simply brilliant. He creates spaces that tell stories and imply caution. His architecture is simple, his building materials even more so. Everything has a history and once assembled, the piece feels like a memory. Not only is his work charming in its nostalgia but it is environmentally responsible as well: everything from the floors to the objects hanging on the walls is either salvaged, reclaimed, recycled or found.<br />
<br />
In creating these spaces Hayes-Chute has created a narrative, an implied history of the simultaneously present and absent dweller. The space is caught <i>in medias res, </i> as if the home owner has just stepped out leaving his hot breakfast on the table. The viewer is left to wonder, what happened? <br />
<br />
Beyond the immediate space, a tension sets up between the constructed room and the gallery space in which the installation is exhibited. Just as the future and the past each pull at the present so too does the question of whether this dwelling is an artifact or a premonition. Are we looking at something that was or something that may be our future?<br />
<br />
For me, these spaces are very powerful and tie into my image of Canadian pioneers – loggers, trappers, prospectors, who settled the mountains and bush of the great white north. Looking at these spaces I imagine them tucked away in an untamed wilderness at the side of a river or in an open meadow at the base of a mountain. I imagine exiting the installation to find myself in a modern sterile space of a gallery and feeling disappointment. Perhaps the natural environment is as absent as the implied inhabitants of the dwellings.<br />

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; text-align: left;">
<i>In my work I strive to slowly create something of value – something original, beautiful, meaningful and universal – an expression of the spirit of those who make the world a better, richer, more beautiful place.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; text-align: left;">
<i>Profoundly sympathetic with the emergent culture of s-l-o-w, I invite you to breathe deeply, slow down, relax and savour this slow art – my slow sculpture.</i></div>
