This exhibition traces the various strategies Laiwan has chosen over the years (from 1982 to present) in her investigation of categorized identity. These works don't posit right/wrong, us/them dichotomies, nor do they get washed away in liberal post-modern ambiguities. Using language as a primary source of engagement, Laiwan draws the viewer into a position that only self examination of our own "uniqueness" and sense of moral responsibility can complete. With just ourselves to consider, these art works become powerful reminders of the limits of our constructed perceptions.

A collaboration of photography and performance documenting a journey of transformation through gender and the shadow. Photography, through darkroom manipulation of multiple images incorporated into a single photograph illustrating the journey with 8 to 10 images printed with liquid light on large format fibre-based paper. Performance, to tell the story through a combination of music-partly pre-recorded and composed by the author and two additional musicians as well as through spoken word, teatre and movement.

"Touched by the Tears of a Butterfly" consists of seven rocking chairs, each a different colour and placed before a silk scrim that flutters in the breeze of an air ionizer. The viewer is invited to sit in one of the chairs to watch the fourteen minute video of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis and preparing to fly. Following are images of different butterflies feeding.

Our purpose is to create an installation that will bring attention to natural phenomena and the physical laws of the Okanagan Valley and the planet - helping us to understand an inherent place in the fabric of life on Earth. Our concern is to articulate what we see as artsts/residents.

A sculptural installation concerned with maintaining a focus between the inner and outer parameters of the gallery space. It involves a concrete ring form equipped with a revolving arm travelling at a speed of one interval per minute. Microphones are embedded in the form itself and reverberate the sound of this motion into the gallery walls. A large photographic reproduction and other elements combine with the form to create associations within work.
