SCAPE exemplifies the changing relationship between the artist and its environment. The result is a selection of works which are diverse and innovative in both media and approach. Through paint, with its propensities so similar to water and mud, Susan Jamieson's primary source of inspiration is nature. Through the contemplation of nature, she seeks to find ways to express thoughts about humankind and our relationship to the forces of the physical world. Cathia Finkel's recent body of photographs are of female friends. The women that she has sought out embody qualities that have captured and compelled her imagination into action and thoughtfulness. Her contemporary heroines are drawn loosely upon historical persons and religious figures. Finkel's intention is to reveal the unguarded moment between moments. Up-close and personal these human scapes explore the essence of these individuals. Janet Peter's paintings that use papier mache lend themselves to more sculptural, sensual pieces that encourage the viewer to touch and experience the medium rather than view from a distance. The resulting experience is more visceral, personal and sensual then strictly optical. She lends dimension to a traditionally flat surface. Jamieson, Finkel and Peter all live and work in St. John's. << back
