William observes nature with a forensic eye, capturing complex textures, colours and subtleties of leaves, flowers and bark in coloured pencils. These intricate details invite the viewer to engage in an intimate, slow-looking journey into this small world that is so close to the ground.

Climate change, industrialization, mass consumerism and societal ignorance are the main subjects of Jill’s exhibition of paintings. She combines a variety of recognizable imagery into surreal set-like scenes, deconstructing and disorienting space by cutting planes and perspectives with wall façades.

Monique presents a series of vintage, recycled wash boards featuring digital photographs of laundry lines. Many images are from Waterloo Region, from the Mennonite community and some from other parts of Ontario and the world. The unconventional frame using a wash board ties into the theme of laundry and extends the story line.

The exhibit will feature a series of contemporary textile works created through tufting and hand-finishing techniques, primarily using wool and acrylic fibers. The central theme explores the relationship between texture, memory and belonging, where each rug or tapestry functions both as an artwork and as a vessel of emotional connection.

Katherine is photographer who wants to reveal the complexities and nuances of her urban Inuit life. She will present works centering on ‘Nuna’ which translates to ‘land’ or ‘earth’ in English, but does not cover its full meaning, as it cannot be restricted to a spatial entity or material reality. Nuna encompasses human beings, animals, landscape configurations, and seasons.

Soroush explores the subterranean dialogue of trees and juxtaposes them with our human compulsion to communicate through curated visuals—particularly fashion. It is a symbolic representation of how trees connect and converse through their root systems, a natural network that mirrors our own less visible social fabrics. Utilizing collage and painting, he deconstructs and reassembles fragments cut from fashion catalogues, jewelry bulletins and painted scraps of paper into complex compositions.
