Vancouver-born artist Margaret Lawther is active both on the West Coast and in Montreal. Her photo-based work references the human body through corporeal fragmentation, electronic manipulation and the incorporation of
mannequins. Her art focuses on the problematic of rendering pain -- physically and psychically. "How do you articulate pain visually or through
language," the artist asked in a recent interview. Her concern with pain and the communication thereof gives her work an uncanny dimension that attracts, unsettles and confronts viewers. She has shown across Canada, most recently at Galerie Lilian Rodriguez (by whom she is represented), and is included in private and public collections in Europe and North America.
