Organized by Museum London and the MMB Collective, and curated by David Merritt and Kim Moodie, Just My Imagination presents recent work in the expanded field of contemporary drawing in Canada. Few of the fourteen participating artists restrict themselves to drawing’s traditional means. In a world where psychic, social and material processes are intimately entwined, their practices extend into textile, sculpture, digital and mixed media, or provocatively cross disciplines to produce new visual compounds. The resulting works (by Stephen Andrews, Sheila Butler, Lucie Chan, Cathy Daley, Raphaëlle de Groot, Michelle Gay, Luanne Martineau, Jason McLean, Alison Norlen, Ed Pien, John Scott, Candice Tarnowski, David Tomas and Anna Torma) show a mobile and transformative imagination at play — by turns intriguing, unsettling, seductive and grotesque.
