ArtCan curators and artists Christine Manderla and Pernilla Iggstrom together with participating artists Ellen Zaks, Katherine Filice, KV Duong, Lesley Oldaker and Rachel Maggart welcome visitors to enter the ‘Fabrication of Self’ space for reflection and interpretation of the theme ‘Shapeshifters’. Explore the transformation and evolution of self. Each larger-than-life panel challenges the viewer’s situational context. Hidden within are questions of freedom, entrapment, and suppression. How does societal expectation build the mirrors in which we reflect? How does this affect emotions, relationships, potential? Ultimately the larger question of what is the true self is discussed. You are invited to enter the installation, activate it, and then become a part of the creative expression.
