Kayla Ward
I Am Easy To FindDriven by her sense of disconnection from a childhood home, Toronto-based artist Kayla Ward uses photography to navigate the psychological and emotional layers that shape her sense of place and belonging. I Am Easy to Find presents a series of photographs and collages made between 2020 and 2023, in which the artist investigates her fragile connection to domestic spaces and longing for familial bonds through imagery featuring dwellings, home interiors, family heirlooms, and obscured self-portraits. -

Maggie Groat
DOUBLE PENDULUMPresented across three sites in Toronto—at CONTACT Gallery, on billboards, and in an outdoor installation at Harbourfront Centre—the newly commissioned work of artist Maggie Groat implements a collage-based approach in installation, sculpture, and image. Groat’s work weaves together found and salvaged materials, layering, fragmenting, obscuring, and recombining, to hold up a distorted mirror to lived and speculative encounters with the natural world. Her practice investigates decolonial ways of being, alternative archiving, sustainable exhibition making, and the transformative potential of salvaged materials during times of living through climate emergencies. -
