Through bold marks and a feel for colour working in layers, Ottawa artist Catherine Gutsche uses a process driven method to capture her joy for the unpredictability of her practice.

7 Works Collective: Continuum
August 22 – Sept 3, 2023 LESLIE GROVE GALLERY: 1158 Queen Street East, Toronto OPENING RECEPTION: Thurs, Aug 24, 2023 – 6-8 pm ABOUT CONTINUUM 7 artists postponed their 2020 Artscape Toronto island artists' residency. When plans were upended, these determined artists committed themselves to finding inspiration via Zoom to see/talk about what they had done during their at-home residency week. A plan was then hatched to challenge each other biweekly. Each artist showed art in their medium; the remaining 6 responded in their voice, inspired by the prompt. We became the 7 Works Collective. During lock downs we listen to each artist describe their process/thinking behind the work from the challenge, including showing preliminary sketches/experiments. As we are not all painters, we learned about other mediums, which was a big feature of our Zoom discussions. 7 Works Collective is paint, embroidery, mosaic, fibre and lens based art. The upending of our residency became the possibilities of creativity in a continuum. |
I do not replicate nature.
I am inspired by THE improvisation OF MY ENVIRONMENT
and its sense of place.
