Georgia Dickie: Stivverin’
Cooper Cole Gallery
1161 Dundas Street West
Artist talk: Saturday, April 27, 2013, 3 – 4 p.m.
Georgia Dickie is part of a generation of artists who came of age with ready access to the digital resources of the Internet but rebelled against them, embracing the hand-tooled aesthetic of physical materials in a decided effort to reclaim the possibilities of definition through the limitations of the real. Working with an endless array of found objects, Dickie’s sculptural assemblages seek to map a new history through the conflation of their parts, re-examining their inherent properties to identify new orders of knowledge and information. She uses collage and its essence of abstraction as a way to establish anonymity on behalf of the materials by creating new roles for them.
