Lucie Chan: Tears and in Between

Born in Guyana and educated in Canada, Halifax now provides the backdrop for Lucie Chan's delicate and evocative drawing-based art practice. Manifesting in many forms - charcoal sketches, paper installations, animations - Chan's artwork articulates themes such as longing, rootlessness and diaspora. This is the first monographic study of the Lucie Chan's work and includes documentation of all her previous work thus far. The book features essays which discuss the themes of Chan's new body of work (The Tears project) as well as her recent shift towards animation. Over twenty - five color photographs document the two site-specific installations mounted in Sherbrooke and Halifax.
