Flett, Ken
Ken's bricolage starts with a photograph and builds upon it with instinctive subtlety. This bare, broken first statement is richly enhanced by things which come to mind or lie at hand - a fragment of a letter, a pressed flower, or by paintbrush, an echo of times past, a scent of endearment, a hint of hope, such stuff as dreams are made of.

Le, Anh
Exploration, questioning and making meaning is the basis of my art practice. Because we exist in a world of images, made of ideas and objects, it is important to understand what we see. Art making allows me to delve into the understanding of my physical, social, cultural and spiritual environment. Life is an experience, and making art about my relationship with it gives meaning to both. Website: www.anhle.ca |  |
