A small torn sheet music in bottom left corner with a line of dashes going straight and a line with an arrow arching over the squares and pointing at a circle with a dot in the centre and text 'find your way' written sideways. A gold rectangle under the circle with some symbols etched in it (brown, yellow, gold, purple, red, black, white, black). |
Provenance |
In 1999, the "Letters to Home" series was displayed in the exhibition Letters to Home at Inside Artscape in Toronto, Ontario. From the artist: "This SFU permanent collection of my series "Letters to Home" was the first edition set of paintings I created that would eventually lead to the creation of my 3-dimensional works on paper which are still a part of my oeuvre, and which have been exhibited extensively in North America and Europe and have been awarded several international prizes out of Italy. The use of collography, painting and collage in 1998 and 1999 evolved into including sculptural elements added to the surfaces as well. The narratives continue to similarly explore my thoughts and interests." |
