Illusory Spaces

IN THE PICTURE: Portraits of These Times

Gallery 1313, Toronto, 2021

Illusory Spaces #1 and #2

It has been over a year of restricted physical contact. I crave the hug, the touch, the unmasked face.

These are covid portraits. Drawings as self-portraits peer out from beneath objects that are tactile and tangible, that invite the hand to hold them, to feel their weight and texture, yet speak at the same time of the intangible: the disconnect between the real and the illusory.
