Opening Reception: August 24, 1-3 PM
Tamara Bond’s exhibition Forest Setting is the culmination of 10 years of planning. With the ideas already in place, everything finally came together in 2022 when a government grant enabled her to rent a larger studio and explore the ideas that had been growing for years.
Using large 6’ x 6’ canvases, Bond has built on narratives and visual storytelling in an entirely new way. The themes in her work are deeply personal and address questions of identity, living with mental illness, the environment, and love of colour. For Bond, this was a liberating experience and she found a deep sense of joy in the act of painting. What she has produced is spontaneous and unedited, highlighting her ability to create narratives that allow viewers to share in her understanding of a world which is both deeply uncertain and beautiful.
