GUTS & VIGOR
L’Entrepôt, New Orleans, LA
May 2016

As our experiences get digested and spilled out we reach for our materials to tell stories. GUTS & VIGOR is an exhibition of all new multi-media artworks by Toronto based artist Dianne Lee and localartist Robyn LeRoy-Evans. This exhibition communicates as we squish and fold our materials, exploring the visceral self as subject through process. The work reclines and hangs while referencing the human body through familiar objects and gestures....a chance to play, experiment, and gather thoughts....a method of communication, a way to sing out one’s ideas....what is inside, and what is outside....a collection of conversations between materials....an opportunity to reinvigorate ones creative self after a period of hibernation.
