Cara Barer | Free-Form Origami

"When I begin folding, I have a stream of thought
influenced by random words that appear and disappear"
 

CURRENT EXHIBITION: March 9 - 30, 2023
Opening Reception Thursday, March 9, 5:30-7:30pm | Artist in Attendance 
350 Dundas St West, Toronto

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.
 
"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.
