Ehryn Torrell's poignant silk-screen prints depict the hollow structures of construction sites. Finding moments within the early stages of construction sites Torrell invites a free association which in the case of the selected work for Traces, resonate situations found within nature. Torrell's bare skeletal formations recall images of landscapes filled with trees and water. Through architecture can be seen man's inherent desire to emulating nature, fabricating a relationship with nature that we can accept and understand. Born in Newmarket Ontario (1977), Ehryn Torrell is an artist whose work explores the visual and psychological impact of the built environment. In 2006, she was awarded the Joseph Plaskett Foundation Award for painting. She holds an Honours B.A. in Visual Art and English from McMaster University (2000) and an MFA from NSCAD University (2006). She currently lives and works in Guelph, Ontario. |
