Printmaking at The University of Western Ontario

I have recently been given the opportunity to teach two printmaking courses this coming January 2011 at the University of Western Ontario in London.

Figure Study

New for this year is a series of prints focused on the figure. At the end of 2009 I had the fortunate opportunity to work with an exceptional and professional model in Toronto. Using a strategy that runs throughout my body of work, here, the female figure is complicated by an array of layered information. [...]

Glass Onion Report/December Update

I was quite pleased to see this work together and installed at Gallery 1313. It was a privilege to meet Phil Anderson and to witness his calm leadership at Gallery 1313. He really made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The gallery itself is in an old police station in the heart of Parkdale and [...]

Glass Onion @ Gallery 1313

COLIN CARNEY @ GALLERY 1313
Glass Onion

I work with imagery which is common or immediately circumstantial to my day to day life. I am interested in a kind of honesty about this. My subjects vary and remain elusive in a definitive sense about their constellation as a body. The series, however, is most certainly not a [...]

New Addition

My third son Euan was born healthy and happy this past May 24th. Subsequently, my practice has been on pause while we get to know this beautiful child. So much of my work this past year has revolved around conceptual interests in “wonder”. In these honest and exhausting days, I am immersed in an overwhelming [...]

Progress

The task of tearing down our old house has proved to be visually fruitful. Anticipating future work with this, I have been documenting the progress extensively in video and digital photography. I found a moment when the demolition crew was paused to take some photos at a stage which seemed poignant. The frozen moment at [...]
