Exhibit curated by Emily Harrison.
Opening: Thursday, Sept. 8th 2016
OCADU Student Gallery 52 McCaul

Wallis Cheung makes paintings at the intersection of sculpture and collage. Her 3-dimensional work questions the limits of pictorial space, intervening physically with the room. Cheung is a member of the Toronto-based collective, VSVSVS, and is nominated for the 2016 RBC Canadian Painting Competition.

Heavily influenced by her surroundings, Emily Harrisons practice examines everyday materiality, consumer culture and tropes of the artist studio. Her humorous, site-specific installations have been apart of festivals with the Bata Shoe Museum, Strangewaves and Camp Wavelength.
