Burrard Arts Karin JonesKarin Jones, The Golden Section:

Karin Jones, The Golden Section features geometric arrangements made from human hair extensions that Jones purchased from a local beauty supply shop. Borrowing from traditional wig-making methods, the result is intricately arranged hair compositions that continue Jones’ longstanding exploration of identity and race through fine craft; an arresting contemplation of the artists’ own desires and the ramifications of bleached blonde hair.

Burrard Arts Sara KhanSara Khan, Sanda Rd Key Dhund – Mists of Sanda Rd:

Sara Khan, Sanda Rd Key Dhund – Mists of Sanda Rd consists of the artist’s reflections on her home in Lahore, Pakistan, before moving to Vancouver in 2014. The project combines memory and fantasy, creating other worlds where loved ones and mythical beings converge within a shared landscape. Having primarily worked with watercolour in recent years, the artist took her residency at BAF as an opportunity to explore new material strategies, using charcoal, graphite, and acrylic paint to soften the viewers’ efforts to differentiate between person and creature.
