Diana Thorneycroft: "Canadians and Americans (best friends forever...it's complicated)"

Diana Thorneycroft’s Canadians and Americans series critically employs pop culture icons and landscapes to investigate the sometimes ambivalent relationship between these two nations. Two of Thorneycroft’s photographs are presented in Gallery 1C03’s foyer in conjunction with Willow Rector’s solo exhibition Trapped, providing viewers with an opportunity to consider conceptual links addressed by both artists. These works are presented to celebrate 30 years of Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art, as Thorneycroft and Rector worked together as mentor and mentee in MAWA’s Foundation Program.
