    Masterworks Southwest opening at Tom Thomson Art Gallery

    Suki Falkner is a boundaries-breaking artist that revisited India to explore contemporary, ancient, and folk traditions.

    As a young woman Suki worked as a CUSO teacher in an ashram. Her explorations included Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Vadovara, as well as tours in Orissa, and Kutch. Tentatively, she began to take photographs. She was conscious of the danger of an outsider, even an attached outsider, imposing a foreign gaze. She tried to stay close to the concrete.

    The resulting photographs form the basis of the present exhibition. They have been laboriously photo-transferred onto encaustic-coated squares. The resultant squares, with their images, were then built up, brick-like, into incomplete and disrupted grids. Monochromatic squares in each piece allow the viewer’s eye not to lose itself in India’s detail, but rather to construct a whole of its own which may even be viewed as abstraction. She presents these pieces as her vision of a place like no other in her exhibition PASSAGE TO INDIA.

    Opening at PROOF Studio Gallery on January 30 from 12-4 PM, and running from Jan 27-February 7.
    PROOF Studio Gallery, Studio 104, Bldg. 74,
    55 Mill Street in Toronto’s Distillery District.
