Modern Living!/ At Dusk, Hashtag Gallery, Aug 15-Sept 1, 2013
Getting excited for my upcoming show! My buddy Blair and I have always wanted to do a show together. And it's finally happening. The reception is next Thursday. Countdown.
Modern Living!/At Dusk
Blair McLean and Joyce Lau are artists from Toronto. The vision for their two-person show came about with their love for stark lines and dueling perceptions on the environment. Whether through intricate detailing in architectural structures with the use of a torch, or fine lines extracted from paper unveiling the feathers of a bird, McLean and Lau’s works invite and entice viewers to take a closer look.
At Dusk
Joyce Lau
Living in the city, I often crave to be closer to nature. The environment of Toronto only allows for a small dose of wildlife and exotic flora, so I let my imagination, memories, and knowledge of what lies beyond my immediate sphere of earthly creations to inspire my works. At the same time, I take notice on a daily basis of the collision of the earth with that which has been bestowed by man. With this body of work, I wanted to examine how humankind intersects with the natural world. Laced with an esoteric presence, the pieces further allude to moments captured when the sun sets. Drawing on my love of photography, iconography, rock and roll, and all things hand-made, At Dusk is also a reflection of my curiosity with textures and my re-conceptualization of traditional techniques.
Show runs August 15 - September 1st
Opening reception August 15 at 7pm - 11:30pm

Little Prince Newspaper Cut-out
 |
| Little Prince newspaper cut-out |
This is my tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of one of my most beloved books: The Little Prince. I made this newspaper cut-out on Tuesday, July 31, on the anniversary of when he was last seen in 1944. At that time, he was a pilot for the Free French Air Force in North Africa, and he disappeared on his last mission on July 31, 1944. It is believed that he died that day.
