Reading The Line Between is a key component to Rockland artist Agnes AnanichukB次元官网网址檚 latest exhibition.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a body of work versus recent work. I do a lot of various things but this is particularly using the photo collages I use,B次元官网网址� the Rockland artist said.

A member of the Gage Gallery Arts Co-operative for about a year now, her collages take the spotlight at the Oak Bay Avenue gallery this week.

B次元官网网址淯ntil recently, I believed that my art came from my cognitive or intellectual place B次元官网网址� my head. It did not come from my subconscious or the emotional and psychological,B次元官网网址� said Ananichuk. B次元官网网址淚n reviewing my work, I realize that a large number of pieces show a juxtaposition of two concepts or ideas.B次元官网网址�

SheB次元官网网址檚 been doing this work for years, using printmaking or collage as mediums.

B次元官网网址淢y pieces reflect a state of mind stemming from my childhood and adolescence. I was in the middle of two opposing views, understanding each perspective but with no voice of my own. I am the line between,B次元官网网址� she said.

She takes photos along a theme, generally opposing or differing views, such as nature and man and lays out a pattern.

B次元官网网址淭hen I slice and dice these photographs and I try to arrange the pieces,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淲hat you see when you look is a pattern of these stripes, but your eye and mind should be able to read the photographs, so they play on you visually, the two opposing views as they abut each other.B次元官网网址�

The Line Between runs through May 5 at Gage Gallery, 2031 Oak Bay Ave.
