Points of Light: sunsets and flowers

September 19 – October 13, 2013

Points of Light is a new series that emanates from a number of sources. Since retiring from formal teaching at OCAD University in 2009 I have been doing a great deal of travelling with my partner Robert Wylie. This series is about those travels, especially our travels in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. This current show deals with some of the flowers we have encountered as well as the wonderful sunsets of Mexico.

Points of Light refers to the Points of Enlightenment I enjoy when I truly look closely at something. I have always been influenced by the Impressionists and their search for an understanding of the quality of light; and their fascination with colour, especially dots of colour. Working with beads, digital photography and fabric collage allow me to explore these interests.

I have started with sunsets and flowers, as these are two enthusiasms that bring me great pleasure.
