An exploration of The Shape of Memory (Constructing) at the Model Gallery. The exhibiton looks at the dialogue between objects and photographs of objects that has long interested me. With a nod to Richard Serra’s Tilted Spheres so familiar to many Torontonians as they travel through Terminal 1 at Toronto Pearson airport. Like Serra’s massive installation, it invites viewers to consider the space that photographs hold within culture in terms of the dominance the visual has on our perception of the world, the importance we place on images within our culture and the fragility of photographs whether through the decline of analogue photos or the over-abundance of digital images.
