Semble: Lyn Carter, Ginette Legaré & Jeannie Thib
Jeanne Randolphe & Susan Gibson Garvey
The publication's title alludes to the multiple lives of the sculptural constructions of the three artists and their affinities with places once known as "the domestic sphere" but more properly identified as the familiar, intimate and subconscious. Well-known psychiatrist and art theorist Randolph uses the works as a springboard for a meditation on affluence and consumerism, questioning distinctions made between creativity and productivity. Garvey finds the common thread binding together all these highly diverse objects: the tension of possibility and the constant flux of becoming/unbecoming. Cater, Legaré and Thib are Ontario-based and have exhibited widely, most notably at The Power Plant, Vancouver's Contemporary Art Gallery and the Leo Kamen Gallery. In English and French.

Jeannie Thib: Geographia
Gary Michael Dault & Marnie Fleming
For more than a decade, Thib has graphed the social construction of the female identity, her fragmented maps, patterns and designs making up a singularly cohesive body of work. Her provocative installations of handkerchiefs and gloves, while disarmingly "pretty", are edgy and biting, undercutting the good-breeding and self-absorption these items suggest. Altering materials from diverse historical sources, Thib incorporates new compositions to reference the body.
