September 7, 2001 to September 29, 2001
Exhibition
These large-scale paintings (5'x6') painting collages resist being read as abstracts or narrative, landscape or figure. Much of Paley's materials involve magazine photographs that are cut and manipulated to engulf the viewer into a world of chaotic thoughts and emotions. The densely coated surfaces seduce viewers into associations and narratives of their own making. This opening is part of SWARM, a city-wide celebration of artist run culture produced by PAARC.

June 15, 2001 to July 28, 2001
Exhibition
Two cultures, two artist, two thoughts - an exhibition that focuses on conceptual ideas around traditional Native themes within contemporary materials. Both artists apply the use of traditional First Nations organic material in celebration of their native ancestry as well as use the duality of metals and found objects to reference the non-native aspects of their cultural background. It is at this point that the artists diverge in their artwork. McKenzie has taken a more political direction, concentrating on icons of industry within contemporary culture in contrast to Marchand, who chooses to discuss the ties of Aboriginal spiritualism and creative process.

May 4, 2001 to June 2, 2001
Exhibition
One wall of the gallery space will be painted in mud, creating a wallpaper design. The design will reflect a Victorian style/motif, appropriate to the influx or height of colonization. The design will continue partially onto the floor. The second installation is composed of rolls of silkscreened paper, printed with a wallpaper pattern hanging from the ceiling and rolling out onto the floor. The rolls of paper form a small room, closed in on itself, hiding/sheltering a pair of moccasins. The moccasins are made of a flimsy/transparent fabric and are filled with earth. The final installation is an apparent mound on the floor. Wound around itself, it is a long beaded length of interfacing made to form a shelter.

April 6, 2001 to April 28, 2001
Exhibition
The exhibition featured a selection of small drawings, some framed, and making use of unconventional materials such as correction fluid and felt-tipped markers. Also exhibited were one or two large charcoal drawings, inspired by commonplace natural material such as sticks and twigs, and two large wire sculptures. Arranged on an eye level shelf were twenty-eight bottles of teeth.
