Item Open Access Artwork by Diana Meredith(2017-05-15) Meredith, DianaDiana Meredit, Cells, 2016 80”x60”, Digital Mixed Media on Canvas www.dianameredith.com Cells investigates the embodied experience of living with cancer. The artwork uses fragmentation as a central metaphor to conjure the fractured experience of cancer. The fragments of language which make the figures reflect both the code that cancer cells carry as well as those fragmented pieces of chemotherapy that prolong the lives of those of us with cancer even as they deliver violent collateral damage. The tension between there two ideas is central to the artwork. The medical system and pharmaceutical industry’s currency is our bodies and yet the materiality, the embodied flesh of our existence is often left unacknowledged.Item Open Access Artwork by Ellen Bleiwas(2017-05-15) Bleiwas, EllenEllen Bleiwas, Spiral No. 161220, 2016 Dimensions: 12” x 48” x 48” Medium: Industrial felt (Felt sourced from: The Felt Store) Website: www.ellenbleiwas.com Ellen Bleiwas explores a relationship between sensorial bodily experience and psychological state through sculpture.

My practice looks at how drawing and performing the self through the medium of comics has the potential to produce new understandings for the maker of these self-representations.Item Open Access Artwork by Yvonne Singer(2017-05-15) Singer, YvonneYvonne Singer, The Freud Text, 1998.

This exhibition brings together diverse ways of working with materials to show qualities of living that sit outside of mainstream perception and narrative. Lines have been drawn to mark difference - to keep difference in line. These artists share works that question the lines that have been drawn to mark difference – to keep difference in line. They collaborate with autistic experience to challenge notions of independence and care narratives; explore the daily experiences of living with disability that are uniquely humourous, difficult, or lovely; draw queer sexuality and gender through memory fragments; investigate the lived experience of existence with queer and immigrant identity; question the fragmentation of gender, feminism and the body; and challenge the dominant medical and pharmaceutical narratives of experience with cancer. This exhibition is held in conjunction with the international conference “Lives Outside the Lines: Gender and Genre in the Americas, A Symposium in Honour of Marlene Kadar.” Kadar is a noted Canadian feminist studies and life writing scholar whose research interests clustered around issues of gender and genre with special attention given to trauma and illness studies, archival methodologies, and transnational themes in the Americas.Item Open Access outside the lines art exhibit introduction(2017-05-01) Newbigging, Martha; Klar, EstéeItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, wItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeCurators left to right: Estée Klar, Martha Newbigging, nancy davis halifaxItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeParticipant artists left to right: Yvonne Singer and JoAnn PurcellItem Open Access Item Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, WildeCurators left to right: Estée Klar, Martha Newbigging, nancy davis halifaxItem Open Access "outside the lines" art exhibit(2017-05-16) Sara, Wilde
