Eliza Griffiths at Katherine Mulherin



Eliza Griffiths - at Katherine Mulherin last week - I always find her work so emotionally meaningful - weighted as she references human relationships - including therapy.


Back to Olga Korper this week for Susanna Heller

http://www.olgakorpergallery.com

work is both exceptionally moving and very calming - all at the same time - don't know how she does it!

Unfortunately - or FORTUNATELY! these images need to be seen in person

Sara Graham Rebuilding Canada

at MKG 127  http://www.mkg127.com

Sara Graham who I already love - for https://sculptureaday.wordpress.com has a show at MKG 127

Wonderful tole work - representing building, past and present in the cities.  Love the Toronto images - remind me of Joe and his office at 388 Yonge Street - long gone, time passes.




and this is her version of  maps - all of it fantastic!




Shannon Bool's Carpets

At Daniel Faria Gallery see Shannon Bool's Carpet - http://danielfariagallery.com

Textile representing a Renaissance work figuring the madonna.  The figures removed, the carpet image altered digitally and keeping that familiar photoshop background, and then 'remade' in real time in Turkey.  History and time speed along.
