Allyson Mitchell | Ladies Sasquatch at the Art Gallery of Peterborough
January 8 to March 7, 2010 | opening reception: Friday, January 8 from 7 to 9 pm
Allyson Mitchell’s newest installation presents an epic gathering of figures, each one a monumental symbol of female brains, brawn and sexuality-a community of Lady Sasquatchs. The free standing, sculptural works by this Toronto-based artist marry feminist theory with her favourite material, fun fur. This curatorial project presents the artist’s realignment of feminine representation in which she symbolizes the mythical feminine as something not easily captured or domesticated, or harnessed to sell, yet undeniably powerful and attractive. Organized and circulated by the McMaster Museum of Art. Curator: Carla Garnet.
