ReDRAWN
Anna Plesset, Biliana Velkova, Carrie Walker

July 16 — August 15

Opening Reception: Friday, July 24, 6—9 p.m.
Artist Talk: TBA


A look at three artists who appropriate visual material through drawing. Anna Plesset's impeccably drawn reproductions of newspaper headline clippings not only call attention to the content of the headline, but also explore illusion, control, and the ephemeral and physical qualities of the newspaper itself. Biliana Velkova uses carbon paper to trace the covers of the tabloid magazine "In Touch Weekly". Seen together, the melodramatic statements and vague images become poster-like chronicles of pop culture fascination with celebrity lives. Carrie Walker acquires antique drawings through online auctions and then alters them by adding her own highly detailed drawings of wildlife. The stylistic and thematic differences between her work and the original create odd scenes and narratives that inevitably beg questions about the intention of both artists.

Might as well do it all while I am feeling in the mood for sorting. I am also going through stuff in my studio and trying to make it make sense. I am working on two new projects and I find it hard to concentrate when I have older work hanging around. It is like I change personalities every six months.

Packing. Sun. Garage sales. Beer breaks. Nostalgique. More sun.

Bridget Catchpole's Beauty Products

I am continuing the section "Art by my friends" with the beautiful collection of jewellery by Bridget Catchpole. The artist uses recycled beauty product containers to craft exqusite pieces that are conceptually critical and stunning at the same time. I have been a fan of Bridget's work since our student days in Montreal, where she pushed the boundaries of sculpture and jewellery making with fierce flare! Here is more information on the artist and her projects.
