CANDICE TARNOWSKI
The Stacks
Dates: May 22 to 31, 2009
Location: Atwater Library
Installed in and outside the Atwater Library and Mechanics Institute, The Stacks presents a frugal, monochromatic pageantry: a flag flying half-mast on the roof, an appliquéd banner suspended from the mezzanine, folded and stacked bedding and laundry tucked into glass cases in the foyer.
Candice Tarnowski was born and raised on the Western Canadian Prairie and now makes her home in Montréal where she keeps a studio, does private textile restoration and tends a miniature pie dachshund. Her work is based in domestic practices, drawing and installation.
