Barbara McGill Balfour: Selfish
Jennifer Fisher
Photographic representations of the artist in the guise of characters such as Emma Peel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in action figures created in her own likeness, in Silly Putty body impressions and in a fingerprint installation humorously point to the impossibility of defining a fixed sense of self. Barbara McGill Balfour is Head of the Print Media Area, Department of Visual Arts at York University and has exhibited across Canada and the United States for nearly twenty years.

Barbara McGill Balfour: Soft Spots
Kitty Scott
The subject of Balfour's practice is the body, particularly the skin. Highlighting the body's surface, with its marks, moles and freckles, her prints and print installations display the skin's surprising formal designs and suggest concerns with everything from physical beauty to illness and decay.
