Moving forward depends on how we feel within ourselves and how we come together to create relationships with others. The intertwined chaotic “roots” are meant to represent all “roots” and are made from the artist’s repurposed paintings. The photographs then take these roots to various relatable settings.<br /> <br /> LORI VICTOR, a full-time visual artist in Ottawa, Canada, has exhibited her work since 2006. Her practice includes and often integrates installation, painting, photography and video. Lori's work questions and reflects subjects such as cultural history, identity, the environment and climate change. She creates hand-constructed representational or abstracted shapes and forms, and uses accessible materials, such as found and manipulated objects. Her abstract paintings include both organically and mechanically painted imagery. Her canvas is often used as a material to manipulate through cutting and folding rather than just as a support. Much of her work evolves from systems theory – the knowledge that we are all part of a larger whole – both physically and metaphorically. Lori completed an MFA at the Vermont College of Fine Arts in 2017 and earned a BFA from the University of Ottawa in 2011. She was awarded a City of Ottawa Creation and Production grant in 2020. http://www.lorivictor.com/<br /> <br /> <br /> CORRIDOR 45|75<br /> Rideau Station, O-Train Line 1, West Concourse – Level 2<br /> Opening hours coincide with those of the O-Train Line 1.

Abstract and realistic elements coexist in worlds that span different times and places. Throughout, the highly-detailed and action-oriented panoply is alive with innumerable plants and animals that are enveloped in a grand interconnected pattern. These prints are then “tiled” together, expanding around us and filling the horizons of our imaginations.<br /> <br /> Williams hurls herself against Greek myth after myth, proposing a revision to the particularly male narrative lineage. Here female heroines triumph by allying themselves with animals and nature. By choosing to transform themselves into other human, plant or animal forms, they evade their predetermined fates and embrace life in new ways.<br /> - Exhibition booklet excerpt by Lisa A. Pai<br /> <br /> ANNA WILLIAMS was born in Ottawa, Ontario. After studying sculpture and printmaking at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, she returned to Ottawa where she continues to work, garden, and live with her wife, children, dogs and an excessive number of houseplants. Her artwork employs the animal and narrative to examine the construction and manipulation of myth, female identity and power relationships in contemporary society. Through an exploration of poetry, drawing, print, sculpture and installation, Williams articulates her struggles with mental health, self-image, and identity.<br /> <br /> Williams has had solo shows in both Canada and the U.S., and has works in the collections of the Canada Council Art Bank, the Government of Canada (Embassy of Belgium and Luxemburg), the Ottawa Art Gallery, the City of Ottawa, and Humber College, as well as in numerous national and international private collections. Williams has also created public works in Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal. http://annawilliams.ca/home.html<br /> <br /> The artist gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Canada Council for the Arts and John Fleuvog Shoes.<br /> <br /> <br /> CITY HALL ART GALLERY<br /> Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West<br /> 613-580-2424 (28425) TTY 613-580-2401<br /> http://ottawa.ca/chag<br /> http://www.facebook.com/ottchag<br /> Open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm.<br /> Free admission.
