This is a superbly illustrated look at the latest work of Shary Boyle, Canada's 2013 representative at the renowned Venice Biennial, With the selection of Toronto artist Shary Boyle, Canada is sending one of its most acclaimed artists to represent the country on the world stage at the 2013 edition of the Venice Biennial. One of country's most innovative creators, Boyle works in a diversity of media, including fine craft, drawing, installation and performance. Blending historical narratives and fantastical fictions with her own personal impressions, she creates imaginary worlds that elicit a range of psychological and emotional responses. A consummate object maker, Boyle's finely honed skills are disquietingly wed to a beguilingly poetic tone and a thoroughly contemporary sensibility. This original publication features new works created expressly for the event and is accompanied by a scholarly essay and an interview with the artist.
