Lyn Carter
Lyn Carter: Incognito
Carolyn Bell & Sarat Maharaj
Using her strong background in textiles, Carter produces wall-mounted sculptures made from patterned cloth and everyday objects. The fabrics reference art history and reflect textile traditions from a variety of world cultures. Interwoven with objects such as plates and platters, her works heighten the antagonism between traditional women's work and male-dominated industrial production.

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.
