Shuvinai Ashoona: Help Us
Marion Scott Gallery is excited to announce a special exhibition of Shuvinai Ashoona’s work as part of the gallery’s presentation at the 2022 edition of Art Toronto. Entitled Help Us, the installation will feature a constellation of the Kinngait-based artist’s sculptural drawings against a backdrop of a suite of recent and monumentally scaled works on paper. The sculptures, which range from tiny to massive, take the form of specific geometric shapes—including cubes, pyramids, polyhedrons, and decahedrons—that Ashoona has covered with her fantastical imagery. Visitors to the booth will find themselves immersed in Ashoona’s universe, within a dynamic installation that allows them to make a range of discoveries and connections across this extraordinary body of work.
