Wunderkammer Show
I’ll be part of a group show, Wunderkammer: The Cabinet of Curiosities, at the new Toronto Etsy Street Team Gallery, running May 11 – 28! It’s the gallery’s first group art show, and my first art gallery show in many years. I’m really looking forward to it and hope you’ll join us at the opening (details below).

“This art – or science art – show, is inspired by the Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosity, the immense, eccentric, encyclopedic natural history collections gathered by collectors since the Renaissance. Cabinets of Curiosities featured treasured zoological, botanical, anatomical, fossil and gem specimen, collected by early citizen scientists. WUNDERKAMMER features original sculptures, drawings, hand-bound books, prints, paintings, printmaking, ceramics, jewellery, generative and multimedia specimen of natural and unnatural history on all scales, from the microscopic to the macroscopic.”
Where: Toronto Etsy Street Team Gallery, 906 Queen St. W., Toronto
