Artists:
Joanne Pilgrim, Tamara M. Hannah and Lil Barefoot
Grand Opening: May 3 at 7:00pm
Location: MacDonald Island Community Art Gallery
(second floor of the Suncor Community Leisure Centre)
This exhibition presents a variety of media such as fused glass,
ceramic tiles, paintings and collages. Surfaces: Exploration of Light,
Texture and Contrast is all about exploring, mixing and trying a
variety of materials and surfaces. Three local visual artists invite viewers to
interpret their artwork and explore their passion for colour, light and shadow.
"My work in this exhibition
explores relationships between nostalgia and traditional ceramic techniques. I
have incorporated simple hand building, wheel thrown designs, and surface
treatments to create objects that invoke different aspects of nostalgia. Instead of
vivid memories, I have abstractly captured visceral representations of familiar
sentiments".

M. Hannah
"I developed my art skills by
working and trying different mediums such as paper tole and faux
painting. Looking for something different l took a course about fused
glass and how to use a kiln. Currently, I am working with glass creating
utility and non utilitarian art".
Joanne Pilgrim
“My work
focused on the grandeur of color, shapes and contrasts that describe any
certain sequence, derived from the use of various materials and techniques.
I express
myself freely, following my intuition and inspiration occasionally aroused by
dreams or events from my own life; often within the surreal universe, leading
the audience into a swarm of imagination”.
