Opening Reception: Thursday, March 29th, from 7 – 10 pm

This project portrays individuals as a human collective in an extended present tense. It is meant to remind us of our humanity, not to glorify or compare individual biographies. Thus, no information about those portrayed is offered. The work is meant to give viewers the space and time to consider their status as citizens of the world as well as the fact that all human beings have this inherent status, no matter their personal, social or ancestral history.

Sara Norquay has been a printmaker for twenty years, making monotypes, photopolymer etchings, woodcuts, linocuts and copper etchings. She also makes artists books and works with felt. After living, working and exhibiting for nearly 20 years in California, she moved back to Canada in 2009 and now exhibits her work in Edmonton, Calgary, and Toronto, as well as in California.
