I've Been Everywhere

Amy Rice's second show this month, Growing a Sense of Direction takes place at the View Art Gallery in Victoria, BC (Canada) October 7th - 29th, 2011.  Read her artist's statement about the show.

I have been exploring themes of direction and navigation in my art (in both the literal and figurative sense) ever since I first picked up my first crayon.  Every piece in this body of work incorporates into it an antique map, globe, atlas page or other directional guide.  I have been setting a course and mapping out a plan. I use the tools at my disposal and yet sometimes I still get lost. I am working at paying better attention and growing the tiny bit of inherent direction I have. -Amy Rice 2011
