Lyn Carter & Julie Voyce

Lyn Carter, Knit 1 (detail), 2003, fabric, fabricated & found objects,  H 57" x W 8.5" x D 5.7"
Friday, September 28, 2007 - 4:00am to Friday, December 21, 2007 - 5:00am

Toronto artist Julie Voyce has been developing her current series of abstract screen prints since 2000. Her challenge was to produce an entire body of work using the same three colours (transparent cyan / orange / black). Each abstract print was resolved using only two or three colours. Pre-computer paste-up drawings and repeatedly photo copied images are used to construct the images which are then printed. With precise orchestration Voyce deploys her deliberately limited pallette to read as rich, complex and varied compositions.
Lyn Carter's work disguises commonly found objects with carefully selected textiles that act as skins to create new forms with delicate surfaces. Pattern-object relationships suggest a codified language allowing for varied interpretations far from the original object's intended function.
Consistent within each artists practice is the disguising of self imposed limitations in the creation of the work. Where Voyce confines her palette to a maximum of three colours and a specific process of production, Carter transforms everyday objects into fanciful forms that defy recognizable functionality.

Work by OCAD U alumna Amanda Nedham

Opening Reception: Friday, November 7, 6 to 9 p.m.

Primarily concerned with the various taxonomic functions of history, Nedham’s works on paper exhibit a technical proficiency and enamoured exploration of natural history’s complex and overlapping structures. Through a process of abstraction based on the collaging of drawings, largely from television and internet sources, she attempts to focus on those moments that create tension as they challenge the governing voice of history. Nedham is the winner of the Ontario College of Art and Design’s Printmaking Medal. Her work has been ehibited in Toronto, Florence, and New York.

Gallery Hours:
Tuesday to Saturday: 11 to 6 p.m.
