While Ghosts Still Hover (Collage Exhibit)SEPT 25th until SEPT 29th 2024 Gallery Hours: Monday to Friday: 12pm-1pm & 4pm-9pmSaturday & Sunday: 12pm-7pmOPENING LAUNCH: THURSDAY, Sept 26th 7 pm-9 pmCome check out this unique collage exhibit happening at 978 Queen St W! Immerse yourself in Christina Foisy’s collage installation, While Ghosts Still Hover, an exploration into the haunting worlds of familial hoarding, postpartum suicide, and disenfranchised grief. While Ghosts Still Hover brings light to the often-hidden subjects, frequently shielded from public view and silenced by stigma and shame. Christina Foisy’s exhibit masterfully combines visual poetry, collage, assemblage, and painting to explore these difficult histories ethically and creatively. The installation offers a space where postpartum suicide and hoarding are expressed not as spectacles but as tangible languages of grief, allowing for a raw and epistemically ethical exploration. Raising questions about our existence between material and immaterial realms, Foisy invites us to engage with the ghosts that linger in the objects we struggle to release. Artist Statement In my creative process, I embrace madness as magic—a means of tapping into depths of emotional complexity and harnessing that energy to catalyze transformation. Through hand-cut paper & mixed media collage art, I delve into the spectral realm of suppressed narratives, weaving together fragments of memory, objects, heirlooms, and archival remnants to construct new narratives that envision realms governed by the heart. Collage serves as a vessel for preserving and conjuring the spirit of objects. These works are not mere time capsules glorifying or sanitizing the past; they excavate what has been buried and reimagine what could be. Artist Bio Christina Foisy (she/her) is a white, settler, Neurodivergent poet, collage, and sound artist based in Toronto / Tkaronto (Treaty 13). With a background in Creative Writing, Gender Studies, and Health Humanities, including a PhD in Mad Studies, her artistic practice serves as a means of grappling with the unspeakable and the uncertain. Motivated by personal experiences of grief stemming from her mother's postpartum suicide and her father's hoarding, Foisy began transforming ephemera from the hoard into collages, finding beauty in the act of re-membering. Her writing and collages have been featured in literary journals and supported by grants from the Ontario Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council.

There are a lot more choices of goods than the city I live in. There are many brand stores and few defective shops. We started east from Spadina. We went to most of the shops, covering 8 blocks in total, and it took us about 4 hours. It&#39;s a very busy area.

The CN Tower is really impressive. Take the high-speed elevator to the top and stand on the glass-floored observation deck, overlooking the Toronto city scenery and Lake Ontario. The view is breathtaking. The revolving restaurant is also a great experience, enjoying the panoramic view while enjoying the food. It is worthy of being a Toronto landmark and is worth a visit.

The Art Gallery of Ontario is a very attractive museum designed by the architect Frank Gehry. Its appearance is like a crystal ship, with a strong sense of modern art. The glass wall and glass wings on the north side of the main entrance glow under the lights at night, creating a beautiful scenery. The spiral staircase in the museum fully demonstrates Gehry&#39;s design talent.
