Kelly Rendek - The Practice of Home

June 11 to July 20

Opening: Thursday, June 11, 5:30 to 7:30 pm

This exhibition brings together a large-scale participatory installation with a recent series of related paintings, proposing a concept of home as an intangible collection of repeated activities and memories that is carried with us. It draws inspiration from the mathematics of spirals and infinity, colour theory and geometric abstraction.

Kelly Rendek holds an MFA from the University of Ottawa, as well as a BFA from Concordia University and a MA in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin. Her recent work explores the concept of home as a collection of memories and habits that define our relationship to place.
