350 Dundas St West, Toronto
Opening Reception Thursday, March 9, 5:30-7:30pm | Artist in Attendance
Immerse yourself in the elegant new work of American photographer, Cara Barer. The artist’s solo exhibition, Free-Form Origami at Bau-Xi Photo, pulls you in with vibrant colours and rich monochromatics. The process begins with transformation, as paper is persuaded into new sculptural forms. The final images are the result of chance, patience and experimentation.
"When I begin folding, I have a stream of thought influenced by random words that appear and disappear. I discard calcified instructions, deconstruct - reconstruct books, combine paper sculpture with camera based media and use the concept of folded pages to document our society’s relationship with the printed word on paper."
Barer lives and works in Houston, Texas. Please join us on March 9th to meet the artist.
