Do You Whisper a Tiny ‘I’m Sorry’ by artist Anne Steves.

"Welsh-Canadian artist Anne Steves invites us to reflect on the universal and intimate dilemmas of life, loss, and connection – avian and otherwise – through her exhibition Do you whisper a tiny “I’m sorry”. Featuring tufted wool rugs, photographs, and her own written reflections, she transforms images of lifeless birds – her own and those gleaned from friends both near and online – into large, human-scale artworks.”

and the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library (MCML) Canada’s Only Museum of Craft. Presenting the best of contemporary and traditional craft in Manitoba.

I Do Not Make Art for Anyone; I Make Art for You
Digital drawings by Jude Palace
Images will be projected larger than life on the exterior of our building, as well as displayed in the gallery and online.
In 2019, Palace had begun experimenting with contemporary and symbolic themes in his artwork, taking inspiration from events in his personal life. He continues to use his artwork as a therapeutic outlet – he had struggled with a panic disorder, anorexia, and depression. As a result of this, he began experiencing seizures and was diagnosed with generalized epilepsy. The goal of this collection is to pass on complex feelings from artist to viewer – not for the sake of empathy, but communication. Palace often references his own artwork to facilitate a dialogue that questions the genuine nature of the artwork, using a vibrant and eclectic style as a diversion to create a false sense of comfort.
