Monomania review in the Georgia Straight...


The Georgia Straight's Robin Laurence had some kind words about my work currently up as part of the Monomania exhibit at Trench Contemporary Art...
Carrie Walker's recent little drawings of exotic animals (a hippo, a gorilla, a snarling African wildcat...), which she has surrealistically imposed upon old, anonymous pencil sketches and watercolours. The found images Walker employs as her grounds are mostly pastoral English landscapes to which she matches her style and medium, hilariously achieving a tension between the original scenes and their highly alien trespassers.
