Terry Graff uses found objects to create works o f assemblage art free of expense. Magpie in a Multiverse challenges notions of throw-away culture, turning scavenged recycled objects into reflections of nature and wildlife. Echoed by eras of material scarcity, Graff’s work reinforces the idea that objects can always be repurposed and reused, challenging the obsolescence of everyday items.

Opening: Living Large

Sunbury Shores 139 Water Street, St Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada

Join us for the opening of Lesley Bartlett's first solo show, Living Large, on July 4, 5 - 7 pm. Finger food and a cash bar will be available. Lesly Bartlett’s Living Large combats conventional standards of beauty in modern media and art by celebrating the beauty of large bodies. Representing characteristics of large bodies that are commonly approached with negative sensitivity, Bartlett’s work dismantles these fears, reinforcing the reality of beauty in average body types. As a result, Living Large reconnects the romanticism of figure painting with real-life representations of people.
