Distance and Displacement
Canadian artist Dawn Dudek creates works that feel like she has discovered a hidden portal in the forest and tumbled through it. In "Distance and Displacement," Dawn takes viewers with her into Canadian and Western Australian treed worlds. Her storybook-style narratives beckon the audience to fall into these woodlands and out the other side with twigs in their pockets and moss on their shoes. This multimedia exhibition incorporates the artist's photographs, drawn pictures, and paintings, which she uses to document and then sculpt with time and imagery while remaining open to moments of discovery. The resulting paintings with their cut-out circles correlate to the unknowable environment that inspired them. They beckon to look and look again.
