Vancouver artist Elizabeth MacKenzie continues her investigation into the play of memory on an image of her mother. In this installation, MacKenzie works with a single photograph, taken when her mother was approximately the same age as the artist is now. MacKenzie redraws this image repeatedly, each representing a gestural and intuitive response to the photo. The result is a flickering portrait of an ambiguous face that shifts and dissolves from one image to the next.
