Significant / Insignificant
This project is a collection of notes, photographs and wallpaper.
The installation Signifiant/Insignifiant, composed of autobiographical notes, photographs and wallpaper, is derived from this form of transcription of my experience. What is meaningful to me is not necessarily meaningful to the viewer, and vice versa... In this context, the camouflage I use becomes a metaphor for tolerance. Essentially, this installation is about two cohabiting points of view. By mixing two disparate entities, I embrace contradiction.
Born in Calgary in 1954, Ottawa-based artist Vera Greenwood lives and works in Hull, Quebec. A graduate of the Alberta College of Art at Concordia University, Greenwood’s training in printmaking has expanded to included mixed media installations.
