A/P Main GalleryDate/Time:

“My practice as an artist begins with the study and research of parallel places and ecosystems. I observe and identify how they mirror each other’s function and form, and how, through their similarities they are able to exhibit uniqueness.

I study the distinction between these two models, based on my and my partner’s genealogical histories. I investigate the generational (three generations) and ethnographic (Slavic and Acadian) differences and transformations regarding gender-imposed roles within studied families. I hope that the process, along with the installation culminating my research will, to some extent, elucidate my position and identity as a woman in my own family….
