Canadian artist Alison Judd will install “Log Jam,” a work originally created for a Working Title Press (WTP) Faculty Residency at the Ontario College of Art & Design University (OCADU), Toronto. This piece is informed by Canadian poet, philosopher and essayist Jan Zwicky’s writings. In particular she writes about how we think of the earth as: “unchanging, or changing cyclically, slowly, on a rhythm large enough to serve as a backdrop against which other losses might be made sense of.” “Log Jam” is evidence of a sudden change, a change that is man-made, that has consequences, and one of terrible strength and beauty.
