    Cul-de-sac Island
    (University of Waterloo, 2019-05-13) Stewart, Jordyn; Tingley, Jane; Thompson, Jessica
    Cul-de-sac Island is a multimedia installation that combines personal research, lens-based strategies and performative re-enactments to camera that engage in a self-reflective investigation of identity, place and territory. Juxtaposing elements of the natural and the unnatural, my work questions personal and collective assumptions about the landscape, while exploring the correlation between nature and nationhood. By re-positioning myself within familiar sites from my childhood, my work interrogates the suburban spaces that have influenced my understanding of nature and the ways in which these constructed environments instill a human privilege over the landscape.

    To Catch A Glimpse of Things
    (University of Waterloo, 2019-05-22) McLean, Paula; Kirton, Doug; Tingley, Jane
    My exhibition To Catch a Glimpse of Things is an exploration into concretizing and prolonging temporary, ephemeral gestures. Through the repetition of ambiguous forms as well as the recurring imagery of distorted, amorphous figures, an attempt is made to reconstruct the complex and fragmentary phenomenon of perception and the way meaning is created retrospectively through the extraction and arrangement of disparate moments and details from lived experience. Employing the mediums of painting, drawing and sculpture, the exhibition presents a body of work in which the process of reproducing, abstracting, and translating distorted images into other variations mirrors the universal activity of the meaning-making mind, a mind which analyzes, prioritizes, erases, or substitutes aspects of experience as a means of negotiating a fluid world.

    Twinning: An Exhibition of Video and Sculpture
    (University of Waterloo, 2016-05-05) Burlew, Marianne Elizabeth; Blatherwick, David; Tingley, Jane
    Marianne Burlew’s installation Twinning affords space for contemplating our body’s unique sensory knowledge and its role in mediating perception. The exhibition consists of four stations that present sculpture in the form of furniture and textile objects alongside video works that explore concepts of becoming through performance. Each work contains moments of co-creation, or becoming in relation between the subjects within the works as well between the works and the audience. Visitors are encouraged to interact with objects and spend time moving from each station to the next in an active role of thinking and feeling.
