Clouds Edged With Intolerable Radiancy

I was nicely surprised to find Lauren Hall's old installation Clouds Edged With Intolerable Radiancy at ESP (Erin Stump Projects) this past weekend.  I remember seeing it four years ago at YYZ.  It still looks stunning.

Thank you, ESP.  Good luck on your new gallery location.

Hall's geometric landscapes

Not really a big fan of photography, I find every year the month of May extremely boring in Toronto, with most galleries here showing exclusively photography.  It is a real challenge to seek out inspiring shows.  I was at the YYZ this Saturday, surprised to see Lauren Hall's latest exhibition Sail Fast Cloud-Shadows and Sunbeams there.  I have been following Hall since I first saw her sculptural installations in 2009.  I love her geometric treatments of natural landscapes and her use of synthetically made packaging and building materials.
