Memory

Alberta artists Ana Zanella and Veronica Funk present their own very distinct versions of
memories: abstract grids depicting patterns and organic motifs found in daily life, and portraits inspired by miniature vintage photographs – bringing together old and new through bodies of work that are interconnected by the past but presented in a way that represents the present. The show runs from August 5 - 30th.
