Elementals with David Griffin. November 8-14, 2024. Beaver Hall Gallery, 29 McCaul St, Toronto. The world is made of bits and pieces, threads and fragments. These can be viewed at many scales, and rearranged to become songs and stories which move beyond the organic structures that we think we see. When we look closely at nature, there is a mess of marks, gestures, and colour. Stepping back, we grasp a complex world that includes ourselves. ‘Elementals’ interconnects the intricate and the simple, and explores the visual poetics of natural processes: growth, abundance, and entanglement.
