The collection, ‘patterns of belonging’, presents works inspired by close observation of ever-changing patterns in the sand along the shoreline of Lake Ontario and imagines the hidden rivers running through the city and through living beings.
These delicate hand-cut paper pieces, like patterns seen in all of life, call to mind water bubbles, salt stains on the pavement and microscopic images of body tissue.
Translucent papers painted with inks and cut in lacy layered forms offer a gentle and visceral sense experience. Their expression reflects on permeability and impermeability, volume and transparency, fragility and resilience, presence and absence.
Love’s work reminds us that human consciousness and physicality are intimately connected with the natural world and cycles.
Tania Love is a Toronto-based visual artist whose work evolves from a relationship with the natural and cultural habitat. Her process-centred use of diverse natural materials places emphasis on tactility and invites slower rhythms. She is the recipient of numerous grants and residencies and has exhibited both within Canada and internationally.
