semble: Works by Lyn Carter, Ginette Legaré and Jeannie Thib

Ontario-based artists Lyn Carter, Ginette Legaré and Jeannie Thib create uncanny, witty and provocative objects. Each artist is in mid-career and has a significant practice, but only one has previously exhibited her work in the Atlantic region of Canada. The works in semble were constructed out of materials such as fabric, paper, neoprene, stainless steel, and latex rubber, and seemed to have their origins in spaces such as the kitchen, the laboratory and the archive. The title of the exhibition alluded to the potential multiple lives of the individual objects as they hang, pose, gesture from the wall, or lie camouflaged in glass cases. Well-known psychiatrist/art theorist Jeanne Randolph (author of "The Amenable Object"), and curator Susan Gibson Garvey contributed essays for the illustrated exhibition catalogue. The exhibition and catalogue received generous funding from Ideas Canada Foundation.
