Exhibition description:

Anima Motrix v.2.0 includes collaborative artworks in ceramics, metals, and mixed media. The artists construct forms that capture, transmit, obstruct and redirect light, and are interested in how such elements may be brought into conjunction with each other to create novel experiences for the viewer to encounter. Without depicting a specific event, object or place, they aim to capture and hold the viewer’s attention, trigger the imagination, and address notions of conceptual and intellectual illumination.

About the Artists:

Trudy Golley and Paul Leathers are internationally active Canadian artists with extensive experience in education, residencies, and workshops across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Golley holds degrees from the Alberta College of Art, the University of Calgary (BFA), and the University of Tasmania (MFA), is an RCA and IAC member, and recently retired from teaching ceramics at Red Deer Polytechnic. Leathers studied at Sheridan College, NSCAD (BFA), and the University of Calgary (MFA), is an RCA member, and previously headed the Jewellery & Small Object Design program at the Kootenay School of the Arts. Both artists are major grant recipients and are represented in significant public and private collections internationally.

As We See It

This selection of drawings were created by second year Visual Art Students at Red Deer Polytechnic. In their third semester of drawing the students continue to explore observational drawing, pushing their technical skills in portraiture, life drawing and expanding to an intense unit of en plein air study. Through these drawings you get a glimpse of this exploration.
