Theses three artists recently returned to Winnipeg after each spending time in Toronto, Ontario and Florence, Italy. Influenced by the malleable nature of myth, each has created work exploring the connection between myth and culture-- whether it be monumentalizing things which are usually hushed, elevating the mundane to the mythic, or irreverently altering existing narratives. Through drawing, painting, collage, photography, and animation the artists explore a world and a Winnipeg in constant translation from the literal to the mythical.
EVIN COLLIS, born and raised in Winnipeg, graduated from the Ontario College of Art & Design in 2010 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting. He has recently returned to Winnipeg upon completing an internship at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy. His works are interdisciplinary and currently focuses on the re-interpretation of Canadian history, myth and folklore.
ERIN JOSEPHSON-LAIDLAW, born in 1987 in Winnipeg, graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2010 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting. She completed her thesis in Florence, Italy, received her BFA in Toronto. She currently lives and works in Winnipeg.
TIMOTHY RAFFEY is a photographer. He lives and works, usually in Winnipeg.
