Karen Curry
Karen Curry’s large, panoramic photographs continue her explorations into elements of remote landscapes.This Toronto-based artist, with her long association with Open Studio as a printmaker, addresses the same artistic concerns in these photographic prints.Working within monochromatic palettes and utilizing aspects of chiaroscuro, the images invite the viewer to pause and explore the aspects of stillness within them.
