Rose Braun
Missing
May 28 to November 30, 2009

Local artist Rose Braun’s installation of mixed media works at our Kelowna Airport satellite exhibition space is based on her thinking about the women missing from Vancouver’s downtown eastside, most of whom are assumed to have been murdered at a pig farm outside the city. She looks back nostalgically at the time when these women were children, a time of innocence – using the motif of a traditional class photograph, and of empty dresses as her imagery.
