Baroque Boreal / Local Colour
November 24, 2007 - January 13, 2008
Gallery I
Baroque Boreal
Mary Ann Barkhouse
Barkhouse belongs to the Nimpkish band, Kwakiuti First Nations and currently lives in the Haliburton Highlands. Her sculptural work examines environmental concerns and indigenous culture through the use of animal imagery. Wolves, ravens, moose, and beaver are juxtaposed against a diversity of background situations. In Baroque Boreal, the work's setting is inspired by the palatial grounds at Versailles where the wild is juxtaposed with the wildly opulent. Catalogue by Jeff Thomas and Linda Jansma.
Curated by Linda Jansma of The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa and in partnership with Gallery Stratford, Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery, Agnes Jamieson Gallery Minden; Thames Art Gallery, Chatham.
