Cocoons

I first saw Judith Scott's works as part of Rosemarie Trockel's show at NYC's New Museum four year ago.  I was excited to visit recently her own solo exhibition currently at Oakville Galleries Centennial Square, Oakville, which is just a short hike from Toronto.  In addition to her cocoon-like sculptures, her drawings are also on view:

Park

Although Oakville is just 40 minutes by train from Toronto, it's only my first time going there.  My visit is all because of Kelly Jazvac's solo exhibition Park, which was housed in a historic residential manor within a suburban garden.  Jazvac has continued working with discarded adhesive vinyl, juxtaposing its shiny artificiality with the pristine natural beauty of the garden setting.
