Exhibition Description
Myth Making brings together three artists from Peru, Canada and the USA whose work is creating a new mythology.
Lima, Peru's Maximo Laura's stunning tapestries explore Andean mythology and stories. Peterbough's Faye Jacobs "tree spirit" sculpture combines tree roots with tapestry. Chicago artist Noel Morical's massive wall hangings made of paint chips give the sense of constructing a universe or cosmic blanket. She will be creating a new piece especially for this exhibition.
