Point Counter Point
Our first exhibition in Fleurbain’s gallery space is on until December 7th… Natasha Henderson presents Point Counter Point, a suite of paintings that use the music and concepts of JS Bach as a point of beginning. The works are richly layered with paint and ideas. Counterpoint is a method of music in which concurrent themes…
creative building blocks
Creativity knows no bounds… but it does work better when there are?ásome constraints! I read an article last night in the Globe and Mail, written by Russell Smith. I agree with his musings. I have seen students grow in their creative endeavours when there are?áconstraints placed on them, a few rules they must adjust to.…

Food + Factory
The following is an image of a painting that I’d made for a May Day?áart exhibition a few years back. I was thinking about the industrialisation of farming, and the untold suffering that migrant (and non-migrant) farm workers suffer so that we can be fed cheaply.
