Belinda Griffiths' work installed at MAWA
- Wednesday, June 25–Friday, June 27, 2014
- 10:00am – 4:00pm
- Mentoring Artists for Women's Art
Join us for a showcase of the work created by artist in residence Belinda Griffiths!
The artist states that “Putting constraints on certain aspects of the work actually allows me more freedom in others. Keeping constants allows the variables to be explored deeper and with more abandon. The beauty of mark-making is that it relies to a certain extent on relinquishing control of your work. That’s where the unexpected happens.” Griffiths will be exploring this further during her time at MAWA by creating a series inspired directly by her residency experience. As an artist-mother herself, she is interested in talking with artists who have either contemplated, tackled or had to choose between being an artist and having children. She hopes to incorporate these conversations into her series.
Free! Everyone welcome!
