"Drawings that focus detail on one or more focal points, so that depictions reach closer to what she sees rather than what she thinks she sees. The resulting effect is both chaotic and fascinating."

These works started in the summer of 1981, six months after the death of Hinda's mother. They were painted from photographs. In each painting the focus is on her mother, often surrounded by friends. Because her mother was small, the other people often extend beyond the canvas. Heads cut short, feet lost as the painting focuses on the tiny woman inteh centre of the work. These works, completed over three consecutive summers, are close to Hinda and are not for sale.

"autobiographical/ a reaction to the outer world/ making something out of nothing with found objects/ building constructions out of non-art materials/ panels of newspaper images layered relayered pasted and then printed/ obscure yet legible about memory and the onslaught of media images/ for entirely personal reasons with personal rules/ part random part decision part indecision; an artist's response-ability."

Lunar Suede is another of an increasingly visual group of artists who make use of 'found objects' in their work. Lunar is from Courtenay on Vancouver Island and along with Ken KRAK Gerberick and MANDAD, these artists have worked out the "Pigeon Lake Mall" (Cumberland dump) to create a body of work that is at once visually exciting, humourous and contains a great deal of social and political relevance. Lunar was originally a carver but his tie up with MANDAD and KRAK changed all that. Most of the work is assemblage pieced together with an eye for both painting and sculpture. Its use of other people's garbage provides fascinating visual pieces taken out of context and an interesting commentary on how we live in the consumer society.

The show consists of photographs by Oraf, of the Pitt, Brian Lynch of Available Light Studios, Juan Rey whose work appears in Angles, Daniel Collins and Bob Jemison. Because the work is so diverse we have titled the show "Homo Erratica" and hope it mirrors the complexities and ambiguities of being gay in a world that constantly flashes back images that don't reflect our realities or concerns. Guest performance by Billy Gene, "Mr Alternator Vancouver".

Radmore's coil-constructed clay forms are reflective of the vessel as archetypal metaphor, enhanced with an overlay of antiquity that speaks of her interest in archaeology and appreciation for "primitive" art forms. Iconic references in the artist's mixed media collage/assemblages further emphasize the inherent sense of spirituality and mysticism that permeates her work. "Found" materials - natural and man-made - are sensitively juxtaposed in compositions that share her fascination with symbolism and the concept of universal subconscious.
