DENOUNCING EARTHLY ANIMAL DESIRES
Kaitlyn Bourden, Jessica Allen, Nitasha Mcknight
JUNE 8 – JUNE 30, 2012
Reception:
Friday June 8, 7pm
Denouncing Earthly Animal Desires draws visitors into the architecture of a gallery as both an exhibition space and a living organism. Bodily functions and the human form are represented as sculpture and site-specific installations. Bourden, Allen and Mcknight each construct grotesquely familiar forms from materials such as wax and plaster, with little colour or adornment. These meticulously rendered objects and installations illicit both allure and repulsion.
