From the Artist::  "This project was made as part of my BFA Honours degree. A bed deconstructed into 25 separate layers, beggining with the detritus beneath the bed, bed frame and mattress and built up with layers of sheets, pillows, sleeping bodies and blankets. The prints nestle snugly inside a box, safe and secured, but can be opened up and spread out, peeling away layers until the body hidden beneath is exposed. An attempt at portraying the safety and comfort of sleep alongside the vulnerability of the sleeper simultaneously."

"I love to work with paper and anything that can be put on paper . I like to scribble & work with processes that are an extension of drawing, like printmaking & collage. I'm keen on repetition, recycling (materials and ideas) and lately particularly taken with the subject of sleep."

Rudolf Kurz

About this artist: "Trained as a medical doctor in my native Germany, I later travelled and ended up studying painting at the Art Students' League in New York City. Since moving to Canada I have shown my art in four solo exhibitions and many group shows. I have also painted a dozen murals in hospitals, libraries and schools - the largest of them sixty-five meters long!"

"My carefully detailed, often bizarre and darkly humorous paintings, drawings and etchings are influenced by Surrealism and by the art of medieval and Renaissance Northern Europe."
"I create my etchings using a centuries old printmaking technique. I don't use any shortcuts like photographic transfer of an image to a printing plate. The design is drawn and then etched with acid onto a treated zinc or copper plate. This image is printed on dampened, thick printmaking paper, using an old fashioned, hand cranked intaglio press. My favourite printmaking paper is the French paper BFK Rives, made by a company that is centuries old. Making one print takes about half an hour. Creating the printing plate takes many days. ( This is why my prints are priced higher than photomechanical reproductions.) My prints are limited to an edition between 30 and 50. They are signed, numbered and titled by me."

Cursive Arts

About this artist:  "I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, painting for about six years now, and pulling linocut prints for just under a year. I don't know exactly where my style developed from, but some of my favorite artists are the Impressionists, Aubrey Beardsley and Alphonse Mucha if that tells you anything.  I love art in all it's forms and would be happy to argue all day with you about exactly what defines it. At the same time, I think art should be affordable and accessible to everyone. That's why you can find my limited edition notecards at such affordable prices along with completely original works for low prices. And most of all, I want you to be happy with what you buy from me, so if you see something you like, but it's not 100% what you're looking for, please let me know and I'll be happy to try to create something original that suits your needs."
