Opening Reception: Thursday, Nov 30th 7pm 

Leading up to and following the passing of her mother, artist Surien Fourie took to the canvas to make sense of her emotions. Using a personalized language of colour, form, and shape, these paintings externalize the internal experience of a woman's deep grief, and, in so doing, baring her soul through the processes of understanding it. She also interviewed several other women who too lost their mothers in similar ways at varying stages of their lives. She drew from her own experiences and that of others to create this collection.
