Adrian Fish, Yael Brotman The Mountain In Our Living Room / The North York Project (Child Is Father Of The Man)
May 2–24, 2009
Brotman’s paintings are based on
photographs of her upbringing in
Winnipeg. Featuring a mountain in the
family living room, the works reference
Guy Maddin’s film My Winnipeg
and connect portraiture, memory and
constructed narrative. Fish documents
places that possess psychic weight
associated with his childhood experiences
in North York. His images also
reference the 1802 Wordsworth poem
My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold.
