AMY SWITZER: Bird Call
June 8 – July 9, 2011
Closing Reception: Saturday, July 9th, 4 - 6pm
Switzer’s recent drawings and sculpture attempt to address the complex relationship humans have with animals and the ways we have charged them with symbolic and anthropomorphic characteristics. Her work examines the human tendency to observe, name, and ascribe meaning to animals and speaks to the connection between natural history and human nature. The narrative element of the work is derived from a variety of sources including observation, philosophical speculation, and literary sources. Amy Switzer has received numerous awards for her sculptural work and holds a Masters of Fine Art from the University of Waterloo (2008). View the exhibition online at www.telephoneboothgallery.ca.
