Join artist Maura Doyle for a talk and walk-through of the exhibition Maura Doyle: the Vessel, that with fugitive Articulation answer’d, how deep is your love?. In the newest iteration of the Carleton University Art Gallery's Collection Invitational exhibition series, Doyle selected a number of pre-Columbian pots from Carleton University’s collection and over repeated visits, communed with them, meditating with a focus on a single sense (sight, touch and sound) for each sitting. Hear how Doyle considers the vessel, a hollow form with a hole, and how we come to know it through interaction and use, representation, and museum display.

Maura Doyle lives and works in Ottawa. Her multidisciplinary practice has included video, ceramics, sculpture, book works, printed matter, and drawing. Her recent work focuses on the medium of clay, prehistoric pottery, and processes, which includes the traditional techniques of hand building and open flame firing. Her work has been exhibited across Canada in artist-run centres and art institutions, as well as internationally in New York, Japan, Sweden, and Vienna. She is represented by Paul Petro Contemporary Art in Toronto.

Admission is free and everyone is welcome!
