Works: Dominique Blain

August 27–October 11, 2002

For more than a decade, Canadian artist Dominique Blain has scrutinized a century-old horizon, heavy with the burden of wars, ethnic upheavals, and social mutations. In Works, Blain lays bare the means of cunning and insistent politics of representation. The boxed images of children with symbols of power and military in Inner Sanctum; The Rug she designed with motifs representing anti personnel landmines, or the haunting march of a regiment of ghostly army boots in Missa, all have a visual impact to remind us of our precarious predicaments.

Exhibitions at the Regina Gouger Miller Gallery are supported in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; individual sponsors; the School of Art; and the College of Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon University.
