Aurelia Bizouard, Chantal Cardinal, and Catherine Tableau, "?What Matters!" 2020
Exhibition Opening of ?What Matters! Thursday, February 20 from 7 - 9pm
?WHAT MATTERS! reclaims the use of common and accessible everyday materials: wool, glass, and plaster. The three artists in this exhibition go beyond traditional uses of these materials, exploring the potential in form, and challenging their mediums’ inherent constraints and qualities to present the tactile nature and true essence of each material.
The artists in this exhibition investigate materiality in an increasingly digital world, encouraging us to slow down and appreciate the practice of using basic, everyday materials to create. Aurelia Bizouard, Chantal Cardinal, and Catherine Tableau employ ritualized, compulsive actions of making to push the conventions of their chosen mediums and explore their qualities. Plaster, glass, and wool are used to create a collection of work, defying convention and form, retaining organic texture and detail.
