Inspired by a tiny recipe book that a young Hungarian woman, Elisabeth Raab Yanowski, made during her time as a prisoner of the Nazis. Rosner\u2019s works highlights resilience, hope and survival. The artist asserts that the book in itself was created as a means to deal with starvation and a way of remembering humanity that victims of the Auschwitz have lost, in the face of their tragedy. Emulating pages from a book, Rosner\u2019s pieces seemingly flutter together in one side of the gallery&#8217;s wall, creating a sense of whimsicality as \u2018pages\u2019 of vegetable representations emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rsz_img_6644.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rsz_img_6644.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43188\" width=\"284\" height=\"262\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">Artist, Thelma Rosner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rsz_img_6659.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rsz_img_6659.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43193\" width=\"401\" height=\"256\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">The recipe book of Elisabeth Raab Yanowski from Thelma Rosner&#8217;s installation <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rsz_img_6643.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rsz_img_6643.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43187\" width=\"248\" height=\"331\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">Installation view with Thelma Rosner&#8217;s work<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Opening Reception was packed with an audience enthusiastically responding to both installations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rsz_1dsc_7515_2_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rsz_1dsc_7515_2_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43185\" width=\"475\" height=\"287\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Text and photo: Maria Mendoza Camba<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exhibition information: June 1 &#8211; 23, 2019, loop Gallery, 1273 Dundas Street West, Toronto.
