Monica Tap

Peter Robertson Gallery, Edmonton, AB - Jun 14 – Jul 7

by Robin Laurence

Widely exhibited and acclaimed, Toronto-based artist Monica Tap takes apart elements of landscape painting and puts them back together again; in so doing, she addresses memory, place, time, and the cultural construction of nature. Working from art historical references as well as from her own photos, notes and remembered images, she explores the many ways we have shaped an idea of landscape and the relationship of those ideas to what the natural world actually looks like.
