Susan Collett
Lineage Mapping - delicate, copper, oil ink, sketch, monoprint on archival paper

2015

About the Item

Delicate branches, roots, and drifting clouds in soft ochre, white, grey and black form a playful map-like narrative in this unique printed image. This monoprint began with images carved into stitched copper sheeting using a drypoint needle. Oil based inks were applied to this surface that was then pressed onto archival Hahnemuhler paper. The second stage of the monoprint involved the skillful application of paint to the copper plate and a second pressing, adding highlights to the work. "The finished prints, with their quick, graceful sketches, their hand-stitched centres, resemble pages in a tattered old sketchbook, and somehow manage to convey that same sense of being deeply personal, completely original creations." - Kristen den Hartog Susan Collett is a graduate from the Cleveland Institute of Art, Ohio U.S.A. earning a BFA degree in Printmaking with a Minor in Ceramics. Since 1993 she has run a full-time studio art practice in downtown Toronto. Public and private gallery exhibitions and commission work sustain her full-time practice. Collett has exhibited internationally in the Korean Biennale, Taiwan Biennale, International Triennial of Silicate Arts, Kecskemet, Hungary, Sevres Porcelain Museum, Paris, and the CEBIKO International Ceramics Biennale in Korea 2009. She has exhibited at SOFA Chicago, New York, Palm Beach and the Toronto International Art Fair. Collett's work is included in private, corporate and public collections including Kasturbhai Lalbhai Museum India, Canada House, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, The Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, The Tom Thomson Memorial Art Gallery, The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery, Ernst and Young, Trump Tower Miami, The Four Seasons Hotel, Toronto, Aimia, Toronto and Montreal and The Canadiana Collection of the Official Residencies of Ottawa, Rideau Hall where the sculpture Filigree was placed in the private office of the Governor General of Canada.

"MY OUT-OF-REACH GARDEN", abstract watercolor, memory, flowers, stars, textile
By Fleur Thesmar
Located in Toronto, Ontario
MY OUT-OF-REACH GARDEN is a new watercolor on Fabriano paper by Fleur Thesmar. The artwork measures 22x30", and is a structured composition in tones of blue, violet, rose, gold and green. Bordering on abstraction and representation, there appear to be sheets of paper, a desk, and yet surrounded by flowers, patterns and textiles it becomes a larger scene, a collection of memories. From Fleur Thesmar – "When you cannot return to a place you love, your memory invents the place for you. Apparent forms are suddenly unrecognizable, a reconstructed memory of a far-away place. Wrapped in patterns, grids and cloth, lights and stars shine as if from a mirror. Throughout are organic, fantastic shapes of flowers." Having moved her family from France to America, artist Fleur Thesmar closely observed the changes in her world – from the seemingly obvious such as surrounding landscapes, the light of day and weather, the flowers, trees and shorelines – to the smaller less obvious shifts, such as how one behaves in a new world, in a new home, how one cherishes certain belongings and certain memories. Her artistic practice is borne out of that close observation and shift in perspective, and has led to a number of successful gallery shows in the U.S. and internationally. Fleur Thesmar has shown at Beacon Gallery in Boston MA, 440 Gallery, Brooklyn NY, Old West Museum, Cheyenne WY, Belmont Art Gallery, Belmont MA, and Salon Ile-de-France 2020, Bourg-La-Reine, France. Her work is on permanent display at the Tower Hill Botanic...
