After participating in OCADUs successful 2013 Gradex, our group has decided to initiate another exhibition outside of the institution in order to reach out to new audiences. As a group, we strive to create beyond graphic designs limitations and challenge the status quo. Our projects are attempts at redefining and revolutionizing the discipline of graphic design in the eyes of the public and our own, through the marriage of critical theory and design experimentation. Each piece in this collection questions tacit social norms and recodes conventions of design through different media. The projects come together as an array of critical inquiries into both personal and public experiences. Together, the exhibition is an assemblage of poignant investigations into differing aspects of our society through design. Cell Gallery : CANVAS TAR PAPER & CEDAR an exploration of meaningful materials by Jo Anne Maikawa Window Box Gallery : SOMEHOW CONNECTED Installation by Shannon Lea Doyle Conceptual material processes allow Shannon Lea Doyle to create sculptures that express her interest in physical and psychological connections between people. Her work is often motivated by images found in news media that are then merged with images from her personal life during the process of creation. Doyles work is concerned with suspensions of truth between the multiplicities of time and space. Somehow Connected has strong ties to contemporary narratives of disaster as well as August Strindbergs A Dream Play. For Doyle, the process of beading with black is simultaneously an attempt at erasure and a meditative process of embellishment. The beads in Somehow Connected form shadows of figures that seem to be ascending or descending. Shannon Lea Doyle is an artist from Toronto working in sculpture and performance. She holds a BFA from OCAD University and won the Sculpture and Installation Medal in 2013. Shannon is a member of Soulpepper Theatre Companys Academy where she works as a designer.
