Janieta Eyre
 

Press Release
New Works
March 11 - 27, 2004
Artist Reception: Wednesday, March 10, 6-8pm

This show combines works from Janieta Eyre's two most recent bodies of works, "Motherhood", and "What I Haven't Told You". A witches' brew of babies, animal parts and monsters, "Motherhood" is the Human Genome Project in diabolical hands. In Eyre's provocative new photos, motherhood is a moment of metamorphosis — fantastical and mutative rather than natural. Continuing in her tradition of theatrically staged photographs, "What I haven't told you" explores the notion of phantom presences, sensed but not seen.

The Toronto based artist once again presents us with a new and visually provocative series of work that immediately follows a remarkable year that includes exhibitions at International Centre for Photography in New York, Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography in Ottawa, the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Villa Croce in Genova and the New Langton Arts in San Francisco. She has exhibited widely in Italy, Germany, Iceland, the United States, across Canada and has recently been invited participant in the Kwanju Biennale in South Korea. Eyre has also been featured in several recent publications including HIVE, Collezione Edge and Faking Death.
