With roots in Canada’s most easterly province of Newfoundland & Labrador and westerly province of British Columbia, Ingrid Mary Percy is simultaneously embedded and transplanted in each Canadian coastal landscape. In this show, Ingrid explores the relationship to place, using flora as both a metaphor and example of adaptation, survival, and the capacity to flourish.
Curator's Introduction
Depth of vision and depth of talent- both coalesce in the work of artist Ingrid Mary Percy.
Her range of work from the conceptual through drawing, painting, collage, photography and the sculptural all speak of an ever widening vision.
It is evident here in 'Blossoms'.
The concept was inspired by Ingrid Mary Percy's love of Emily Carr and their mutual fascination with wild flowers.
Here we are fortunate to give you, our visitors, the rare opportunity to peek behind the curtain of an artist's process from inspiration ( Carr's words) through photography and drawing (the search and draft stages) to completed works ( the collages and painting). But instead of a little man pulling levers of deception, behind this curtain is revealed an artist's vision made complete. How lovely! How remarkable!
