Question et Answer Session: facilitated by: Eric Farache.

*** Manifest Dream ***

An Exhibition of a large format photography by Eric Farache.

Eric Farache's exhibition of large format photography is an investigation into the convergence of time, image and memory through richly layered multiple exposures. Farache works with layered images all created in-camera, not digitally. Through exposures, more reference points are created and strung together, creating whole new reference point, based on a very personal visual language. Throughout Farache's practice, his work has consistently focused on the passage of time - capturing moments in history as well as place. Eric is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art & Design (1994) in Fine Art and the University of Leeds where he earned his Masters in Fine Arts (2000). He often expresses his ideas in photography, sometimes utilizing the cheap and sensationalistic Holga camera.

*** Fuzzy, furry and cloudy ***

- large scale crayon drawings mixed with pastels and paint -

An Exhibition of compositions by Isabelle Hémard.

Isabelle Hémard's Fuzzy, furry and cloudy shares company with her previous public offerings. As an unapologetic, hopeless romantic, she shares what pulses through her heart and onto paper resulting in large scale crayon drawings mixed with pastels and paint. Hemard scratches, paints, carves, prints, and sews each mood and experience through and onto her materials. Hemard scratches is a Toronto-based printmaker born in France, and has lived in Canada since the early nineties. She completed her MFA at Diplôme National Supérieur d'Arts Plastiques in France and has exhibited in Canada and internationally. Her work can be found in many private, public and corporate collections.

*** Jane Doe ***

- encaustic paintings, sculptures, film, installation and books -

An Exhibition of compositions by Heather Gentleman.

Throughout time, the voices of women have been silenced by gender bias,
poverty, racism and religious persecution. Jane Doe is based on the stories
of average women who have contributed to the framework of society
and yet have been silenced. I chose the name, Jane Doe, because all
of the women are unknown to us and yet they have had an impact
on our lives. The premise of this exhibit is to give them, and all other
Jane Doe, a voice.
