About the Item

“through the whispered promises and changing light” was created by artist Marigold Santos for her recent solo exhibition "in this drought, flood my hollow heart ". The works for this show continue to examine ongoing themes of empowered selfhoods through embracing fragmentation and multiplicity of personal identity, informed by lived experience and impressed upon our landscapes, real or imagined. The emotional landscape is personified by drafting together memories and traversed physical landscapes to create a collage of meaning and experience. Geological forms, objects, and foliage become the characters within these surreal landscapes. Through anthropomorphisation, they embody the projection of emotionality and function as surrogates for the absent body. Layered and collaged imagery creates an expression of specific moments; interior and exterior vignettes that, through a reflection of space and surroundings, invite contemplation and awareness. Evoking hours of transitioning light, quiet and stillness provide the setting for meditations that comfortably hover in the gradient. As enduring time pushes mountain, carves rock, and highlights the slow yet persistent growth of arid plant life, the absent figure records memories that are edited together to create new narratives. Love lost, love gained, isolation, solitude, melancholy, depression, vulnerability and courage. Biography: Born in 1981 in the Philippines, Marigold Santos holds a BFA with honors from the University of Calgary and an MFA from Concordia University in Montreal. Her solo exhibition “Surface Tether” was presented in 2019 at the Art Gallery of Alberta. Other recent participations include SOFT at Superchief Gallery in Los Angeles, the Alberta Biennale, and Foire Papier in Montréal. A 2012 finalist for the prestigious Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Fellowship prize, she is also a three-time grant laureate of the Arts Counsel of Canada. Exercising a multidisciplinary practice, Marigold Santos explores questions surrounding identity and the construction of personal myth.
