Withsupport from the Canada Council for the Arts and the OntarioArts Council she has produced and shown work across Canadaand abroad, most recently in Athens, Greece. During this

residency, she will be focusing on developing new sculpturalwork involving sound and electronics.

In her work she is interested in examining intersectingelements of culture and the natural world and in conflatingthese various aspects to create new, hybrid ideas. It is the greyareas between the human world and the cultures of otherspecies that she finds to be fascinating spaces for speculation.Predominantly through sculpture and installation she

investigates a shifted perspective of the interactions andinterconnections of humans and the natural world to confuseconventional hierarchy.

James Olley James Olley’s practice examines the overlap between interconnected

perspectives of space and how we perceive and process memory. OIley’swork constructs spaces which incorporate the concept of Lived Memory, areal and imagined place, resulting in an individual or collective experience.This is where many of us reside, between the overlap and blending ofexperiences, fictional and actual memories informed by our individualperceptions

For Olley, it is in the moment of discovery when the subject is revealed, thespace becomes realized, as he divides the canvas, negotiates space and

employs a combination of formal considerations, expressive and organicmarks, line, geometry, architectural forms and complex spatial relationshipsthat engages his practice and forms the space. Olley’s canvas acts as anarena to house these modes of expression, depicting co-habitedenvironments, where at times painterly languages compete for theirdominance. The forms within these spaces are mindfully investigated andtreated as unique living and evolving spaces, which manifest and areconstantly adapting and responding. As Olley constructs, negotiates and

responds, a dialog is formed and fused between the painter and thepainting.

Olley currently lives in Guelph, Ontario where he continues his practice andworks as an Assistant Professor in the Fine Arts Department at OCADUniversity teaching Painting.

Upcoming Exhibition: Defining Language, Cambridge Centre for the Arts,September 3 – October 9, 2015. Reception: Thursday, September 3, 7-9 pm.

Gregory Pepper is a draw-er & musician from Guelph, ON.

His stuff is irreverent and poppy, most likely the product of achildhood diet that consisted of too much TV and comic books.

Thick outlines, heavy shading, and a close-fisted color palette.

He's also probably got a sore neck from making so many nods topopular culture.

Jazmyn Pettigrew There is great beauty in the banal. I dissect aspects of the everyday, the mundane and theunheard. In my practice I utilize a wide range of media to explore feminist themes, such as thetreatment of the body as an object.

I am very interested in the parallel between the female body as a subject and unimportantroutine tasks that are commonly associated. I am fascinated by insignificant undertakings thatsociety unknowingly hands to women. I focus my investigations of experience through variousacts of seeing, listening and feeling. the outskirts of recognition.

Evelyn Sorochan Ruland

Evelyn Sorochan-Ruland is a graduate of the University ofGuelph (2014), receiving her BFA in Studio Art with a minor inArt History. She has won awards in drawing and has had multiplegroup as well as independent exhibitions. This past summerEvelyn worked with Toronto based artist Howard Podeswa andwill be attending an artist residency at the Vermont StudioCentre in March.

Raised in Woodstock, Evelyn is currently residing in Guelph to

take part in the Incubator Artist Residency at Boarding HouseArts. She is engaged in a multidisciplinary practice exploringpainting, drawing and sculpture. In her drawing and sculpturepractices, she explores the dematerialization and anatomy ofunconventional mediums, while analyzing the viewersrelationship to the work.

Presently, at the beginning of her professional career as apainter, her practice involves the contrast between the

abstraction of anthropomorphic forms on top of an illusion ofrepresentation or geometry. This creates immense tensionbetween multiple languages of painting and allows for theexploration of the paradoxical atmosphere they are awkwardlyplaced within.
