Andrea McCallum is an artist inhabiting the space between sculpture and printmaking. Through concrete and paper pulp, concepts of weight and density are explored through visual cues and materials. Preserving nature without removing it from its habitat has been an intriguing dilemma leading to the addition of resin to the work. Andrea also employs notions of cosmology and intuition when composing the organic forms that are characteristic of her work.

Alexis Freitag is an artist interested in the tension between biomorphic shapes constrained in the geometric canvas. She explores concepts initially untethered to any physical world references paired with the inevitable reach for a narrative. Using color-blindness to her advantage, the mixing process is integral in provoking an emotional response to the visual relationships explored with color and shape.

Addison Lemmon is a painter working in watercolour, collage, and oil to transmit childhood memory through systematic abstraction. Currently Addi is focused on her experience of outdoor play and growing up in southern Ontario, as well as the dissociative effects of moving to a big city for the first time. Using serial systems like grids and colour blocking, Addi creates playful collisions of childhood memory and environment that evoke a positive sense of nostalgia in the viewer.
