REGISTERED ICE PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

Canadian landscape painting is transfixed onto contemporary West Coast environments composed of traversing power lines, ordinary houses, and less -than-picturesque communities.

Fusing personal memories and collective interpretation, Poirier creates life size photo assemblages with photo transfers, wood, drywall and text.

Porcelain configured into a corporeal representation becomes familiar and alien, at once reminiscent of a prehistoric museum and a domestic display.
