Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery presents Cassia Powell: in between you and me
Running until September 28, in between you and me is a solo exhibition of select works by Vancouver-based emerging artist Cassia Powell.
This body of work develops themes exploring what writer Gavin Butt refers to as a ‘social activity which produces and maintains the filiations of the artistic community,’ namely – gossip. Using soft-sculptures and oil paintings, in between you and me explores intimacy, vulnerability, story-telling, and worldbuilding through painting and fibres-based installation.
