Currently on display is \u200b<em>Parasympathetic (<\/em>2017) by Toronto artist, Winnie Truong.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Truong has a total of eight spellbinding papercut works in the exhibition, each delivering their own sense of play in the form of collage-like entanglements. Secluded within plants, flowers and trees &#8211; \u200b<em>Parasympathetic<\/em> draws attention to feminine forms and celebrates whimsical exaggerations. Within the scenes of marsh and myth masked nymph characters are enveloped in their own fantasies and enchantment. Troung\u2019s attention to details give a phantasmagoric\u200b visual experience, which transcends the viewer into colourful spirals of beguilement\u200b. Her work is delicately curious, and creates a moment of personal intimacy when hope is understood as a self-reflective moment between the individual and the land.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nikole Turrer<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">*\u200bExhibition information: January 10 \u2013 April 15, 2018, Onsite Gallery, 199 Richmond Street West, Toronto.
