The Gallery is pleased to present artist Mary Anne Barkhouse in an exhibition entitled Boreal Baroque on view October 4th through December 13th.
Boreal Baroque is an examination of environmental concerns and indigenous culture through the juxtaposition of animal imagery against a range of historical and contemporary situations. The setting is inspired by Versailles, with the wild occupying the wildly opulent.
