TRACES
What is left behind, residue.
Traces is an exhibition that investigates ideas surrounding identity, absence, and memory. Each artist explores the possibilities of evolving our formative experiences into artifacts of individual inner-realities. Residual impressions may be caused by the presence or process of addition and elimination. Ostensibly, traces are activated through fragmentations, intermedial practices, and fractures.The concept of a trace is not limited to one understanding or approach, creating a platform in which artists can engage with multiple mediums. Included are works that employ photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, and film. Although the mediums included are broad, each work closely relates to ideas of temporality, ephemera as well as the residues we leave behind.
Art Camp Residency 2016 thanks the Ryerson Communication and Design Society and The Student Initiative Fund for their generous support on this project.
