Cindy Mersky: Mid-Island Modern

MID-ISLAND MODERN Aug 31 – Sept 26

Meet the Artist, Sat, Sept. 4 @ The McMillan Arts Centre Parksville, BC

All the works in this exhibition have been created using the technique of décollage.

Décollage is the opposite of collage - from the French word décoller meaning to take off or to unstick. This technique is based upon the appearance of advertisements ripped from billboards, leaving fragments of papers and the layering of previous posters.

I see it as a metaphor for time as the colours, textures and overall feel of my work has been influenced by memories of growing up in the 60’s and 70’s. Music, fashion, TV shows, advertising, interior design - everything was so cool and groovy.

Our home was filled with mid-century modern furniture and artwork, my dad drove a pink Cadillac with giant fins and ‘Bewitched’ was on TV.

I hope you feel the vibe.
