【 摘 要 】

Outta This World is a multidisciplinary show comprised of drawing, video, music, performance and installation. It was initiated by my interest in the concept of the nation-state, more particularly Canada, and the way it imposes certain identities on its citizens through violence and repression. Using strategies of humour, abject beauty, social engagement and ritual, my work proposes alternate possibilities for Canadian identity through a difficult, yet ultimately beneficial process of de-repression.
