Nicola Woods
Monday July 6 at 3:30 pm on Instagram TV
Nicola Woods is a fine art photographer born in England and now living in Toronto. Driven by her mission to raise awareness of the benefits provided by both wild and urban trees she creates shimmering tree portraits that resemble historical photographic techniques such as daguerreotypes and ambrotypes. Designed to emulate the light shimmering through a tree canopy or the glow of sunshine through a leaf, Nicola’s art will bring the beautiful energy of trees into your home.
Ross Bonfanti
Wednesday, July 8 at 10:30 am on Instagram TV
Using discarded stuffed toys and other local thrift shop finds, artist Ross Bonfanti manipulates these mass-produced objects to construct original mixed media sculptures predomantly made in concrete. Bonfanti relates his own lifelong emotional experiences to his work while exploring themes commenting on commodity fetishism and the disposableness of consumer pop culture. Through the juxtaposition of materials, he creates an arresting tension between the expectation of softness and the reality of hardness, between the fleeting and the permanent, between the memories of childhood and the stresses of adulthood. They are touched with both humor and pathos.
