RECENT WORK

NEWS

I have started a new series titled Stitched
Picture
Journey (when my father met his first wife) 25x35" stitched canvas, acrylic and linen collage with solar printing $1000 CAD
Picture
Vitruvian Panopticon 22x30" acrylic, canvas, linens, solar prints NFS The piece plays with Leonardo's Vitruvian Man and also connects to my Maple Park writing where I refer to the picture windows that lined the streets and the way that they created a reverse panopticon of surveillance.
Picture
Undercover, a 25x42 inches acrylic on sewn canvases is literally a pieced together compilation, a sewn and painted canvas hanging 25x42 inches (variable) made from studio scraps. There is a section that can be peeked inside, thus the title. It is a loosely rendered scene about play. Through its form it is an expression of resourcefulness. In terms of subject matter it articulates the way that the element of play continues through adversity. On exhibit at WAAC Awakenings exhibition June 2 - 18 2022
Picture
Discourse is acrylic and printed linen on sewn canvas, dimensions are 28 (variable x 64 inches) It is a narrative across six panels, stitched together and suspended on a bar. The height of each piece varies. Applied onto the painted canvas are images suggested of French feminists de Beauvoir and Irigary, printed on vintage linens. The final piece is a sculpture image attending to their sometimes impenetrable words.

MORE PAINTINGS

DREAM 22x28" $500 framed 20.5x26.5 unframed This is a compilation that began with finding a 1940s booklet on the Dione quintuplets, and thinking about little girls in general and where their brains might take them. The actual development of the artwork was totally intuitive, as collage tends to be in my practice. I think of the red yarn as some kind of gnarly brain function. While I have done some writing on my blog about the Dionne phenomenon (https://www.margaretrodgers.ca/blog/dionne-quintuplets-and-baby-care), the artmaking process moves off away from the didactic into an imaginative realm. I have used yarn, pastel drawings, acrylic paint, image transfer and graphite in the piece.
Emma B 22x28" with frame Acrylic and graphite on paper $600
BREAD 30x22 in $500 framed When I came across an embroidered work that says “BREAD” how could I not develop a collage on the subject. The colourful little plastic bread tags seemed to multiply in my bread drawer, and therefore the development of an artwork appeared to be inevitable.
