In the Snelgrove this week: Stacie Huculak’s Trinity
Stacie has done an impressive amount of work this year. Her show Trinity fills the Snelgrove gallery with large scale self portrait drawings. Stacie is working with stark monochrome blacks and whites that blend velvetly into her grey background. Her forms sometimes look still and statuesque and other times fragile or barely there.
You might not recognize Stacie, as she portrays herself in a variety of metaphoric roles. Her drawings beg for analysis as they contain symbology hinting at a further narrative. She’s a wolf, a deer, a mother, a victim, a shaman. What does it all mean?
With her work Stacie might be looking at various roles of herself as a woman. I took a critical viewing of women’s roles. Years after the womens’ right movement, women are still lumped into types. Stacie explores her identity here while dealing with the conflicting societal treatment of women.
Stacie’s reception is the evening of April 25th. Come enjoy her art and celebrate!
