Catherine MacTavish: Both Sides

File consists of a press release, an interview script from the York University Excalibur, catalogue list, letter of appraisal, correspondences, applications, newspaper articles, and 22 slides. The exhibition featured one work by Catherine MacTavish which has been two years in the making. The work consists of two painted surfaces which are paradoxical in relationship. One side, Night Vision #14, is the culmination of the artist’s investigations in the realm of light and visual perception. The other side, titled The Pure Gold Baby that Melts to a Shriek (from a poem by Sylvia Plath), evokes both torn flesh and scorched, eroded, post-nuclear earth surfaces. The exhibition ran December 6-January 27, 1984
