Arts scene ‘mover and shaker’ part of Museum’s latest offering
Studio arts alumna Laura Marotta installs her work at the McMaster Museum of Art. She's part of an exhibition, which also features Hamilton-based Svava Thordis Juliusson, that runs until August 16.
Alumna Laura Marotta is bringing her non-traditional art – inspired by pre-fabricated and modular housing – to the McMaster Museum.
Marotta’s show opens May 15 and includes the Iceland-born, Hamilton-based Svava Thordis Juliusson.
Both artists are known to make use of non-traditional materials in their work.
For Marotta, it’s often the ceramic tiles, laminate flooring and other items designed and produced by companies like Mattamy Homes, which make pre-fabricated housing.
Juliusson often chooses to work with materials such as rope, plastic meshing and aluminum sheet metal.
The award-wining Marotta graduated from McMaster in 2007. She was recently featured in Hamilton Magazine as an arts scene “mover and shaker.”
The artists will host a public reception and talk on Saturday, June 14, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
