Drawing on Time


The image below (48x72in) will be part of an installation for the upcoming show 'This land is OUR Land: the greenbelt dichotomy'

I was fortunate to receive funding from the Ontario Arts Council towards the production of new work for this exhibition.  I also took a few weeks from teaching in order to fully immerse myself into the project and have relished in every moment. 

I am still busy finishing up a series and very excited to see the exhibition as a whole and what the other artists will bring to it.

*no time lately to leave comments on my favourite blogs but still looking-especially enjoyed Krista Howell's new work as well as Caroline Simmill and Sheila Vaughan










 The More Things Change

48x72in, 2012


yes, more aluminum -I just find it so intriguing. Below is the same drawing, but in  low cool light. the reflective aluminum light seems to move around the work in a continuous cycle of change-

  4. Lovely! Made me think: contemporary female answer to Piet Mondrian's 'silver tree'. Thanks for the mention. Best of luck with work prep!

  5. This is fabulous Jan, really - and when i looked at the size - wow I was so awe struck. It has a Van Gogh feel to it - liberated and blossomy. I'm not just saying that in relation to the scratching of backs either (but thanks for the mention)! All good wishes for the show. Wish I could see it.
