junction triptych
for my entry in the local options art awards for the Junction, I have submitted a triptych
done in plaster and fluid acrylic glazing.. you can see this triptych at the wonderfully smelly shop of Antonnetta among other sensuous products
"The Relax Shack"
3026 Dundas Street West
416-762-1575
This composition depicts the spirit of the Junction neighbourhood.
I have lived in the Junction area for 20 years and have always been intrigued by the quaintness of the houses. Together, they present a unity, yet each house takes on its own personality. I have etched, carved and worn the shapes through sanding and rubbing, as these houses are misshaped and worn, suggesting years of transition.
There is irony within this neighbourhood - the old and the new. Even though the Junction is steeped in history, it’s spirit is not traditional. Under this layer, it is vibrant, creative and holds great promise for the future.
