Earth Skins: Three Decades of Drawing by Susan Wood
Acadia University Art Gallery/ June 18 - August 11, 2012
This retrospective exhibition documents the production of Halifax artist Susan Wood, whose practice is devoted primarily to drawing. Her work of the past decade embodies the idea of finitude, reflecting on mortality and loss. A range of graphic techniques, often on textured handmade papers, begins within the frameworks of geography, museology and botanical illustration and broadens into an appreciation of the drawings as metaphors of entropy and death. This exhibition includes the dramatic series Devil’s Purse (1985) and Dress (1989-91), which were inspired by various stages of women’s corporeal experiences.
Organized and circulated by MSVU Art Gallery with financial support from the Canada Council for the Arts and Nova Scotia Tourism, Culture and Heritage.Curator: Susan Gibson Garvey. Catalogue available
