At the Kolaj Institute Gallery"My nonsensical beasts are deformed creatures—composed of various objects including wings, heads, tails, table legs, skirts, boots, and abstract shapes—that are endearing and sometimes charming," writes Montreal-based artist-in-residence Maria Schamis Turner. "I use elements from fashion and design combined with animal or human appendages to draw the eye to a specific shape or gesture within an abstract form. I playfully encourage the viewer to confront the uncomfortable, to discover something beautiful or familiar in what could otherwise be seen as peculiar or even tragic." In celebration of World Collage Day, Turner will host a collage making workshop where participants make "Nonsensical Beasts" and share made up stories about their creatures. The workshop is open to all ages. Materials will be provided. Space is limited to 10.
