Amy Modahl
November 2, 2024 to January 12, 2025
Redactions presents the latest work from artist Amy Modahl, featuring a collection of paintings on canvas and paper. This series is inspired by the written language where Modahl uses abstract graphic elements to shape her visual narrative. Modahl’s work demonstrates her interest in language as both a visual and textual medium, challenging conventional perceptions and inviting visitors to explore the space between semantic and asemantic, sense and nonsense, and self-censorship.
Salmon Arm-based multidisciplinary artist Amy Modahl’s work explores themes of spatial vocabulary, visual translation, and the interplay between human and material gestures. Her contributions to the arts were recently recognized with the 2023 Tanabe Award for mid-career artists, shared with emerging artist Robin Hodgson.
