Sara Norquay: Citizen of the World
Harcourt House Artist Run Centre, Edmonton, AB
Acclaimed print artist Sara Norquay has created an immense installation of art and outreach: 300 linocut portraits of individuals from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Working from photographs approved by the people portrayed, Norquay translates what might be mere physical likeness into highly personal and psychologically affirming depictions. In her exhibition statement she writes, “It is my interaction with each individual that I think about while cutting the plate.”
