MARIANNE LOVINK: MOLECULAR MECHANICSMolecular Mechanics 2008 Marianne Lovink's upcoming exhibition of new work will be her first since returning to Toronto after working in London for the past three years. Known for her evocative forms and meticulous attention to detail, this work is a continuation of her recent interest in the organic structure of the human body on a cellular level. New materials used are welded steel (left raw to the eye) and plaster or ceramic for the modular forms. Using medical journals and microscopy image banks as source material, and employing simple materials and a spare palette, these works are three-dimensional re-interpretations of elemental structures.
