IRA HOFFECKER, LEST WE FORGET
Ira Hoffecker
The Front Gallery, Edmonton, AB - Nov 7 – 26
Based in Victoria since 2004, German-Canadian artist Ira Hoffecker has in the past used her highly layered abstract paintings to explore the ways in which cities transform over time. Her new body of work, including paintings, drawings and a video titled History as Personal Memory, probes the painful subject of childhood trauma, repressed memories and the denial of repugnant histories. Through her video, particularly, Hoffecker uses her body as “a tool of investigation,” ultimately leading to healing.
