Artists: Eugénie Shinkly and Sarah Crawley

Date: April 11 to May 4, 1996

Artists' Lecture: April 12 

Two women photographers from Montreal and Winnipeg presented their large-scale colour and black and white imagery in an exhibition that addressed both artists' subversions of traditional landscape and figurative photography. 

Montreal-based artist Eugénie Shinkly noted that her work "explores alternative means of landscape representation: the deconstruction of the traditional view, and the physical, as well as visual, address of the viewer. The alienated and destructive relationship that we maintain with our global environment is sanctioned by the notion of lansdcape as a purely visual entity."

Sarah Crawley of Winnipeg explored a process of photographing her own body of the past two and a half years. She explained "while being intensely personal, [the work] also speak universally."
