NOTES ON PARENTING (INSTALLED)

Ann Manuel has lived and worked as a visual artist and art educator across Canada and around the world. She has a BFA from Mount Allison University, a BEd from Queen's University and a Masters of Arts from the University of British Columbia. Ann has exhibited her work since 1973.

In her art, Ann has focused on the turmoil within identity as cast in the world of girls and mothers. In oil paintings, drawings and prints, she uses floating figures as a metaphor for the mother and juxtaposes them with groups of young girls strung between moments of tension and calm. During a recent residency in France however, Ann completed installations related to older themes of motherhood and agriculture, encompassing the ideas of sacrifice, nurturing and the continuance of knowledge. The first of these, the Worry Ladder, was woven using elements discarded by others. This installation was the product of reflection on the current state of human relationships to the planet which must be part of the lessons we choose to pass to our children.

Ann is a true polymath of artistic media. She constantly experiments and explores, from painting to print- making, into photography and installation-based sculpture, she has an interest in conveying a message at every level of an artistic work - from the material to the subject. Ann is a thoroughly intellectual artist but she continues to enjoy the sensory calm of still-life painting - both as artistic warm-up and as a refocusing of the mind and artistic eye.
