[curators' statement]
The FACE
SHAPE of
COLOUR
is a
splashy walk through emotional abstracts; portraits of bodies and minds.
The collected rare portraiture of Mona Agia provides a series of moments to pause and observe the calm presentation of bodies holding the vibrant energy of thought and feeling, in colour.
Reflections on our own movements in relation to emotion: Do we move our bodies? Do our minds move us? Observers of ourselves in the portraits.
The artist paints with ease, a dreamlike drift through states between consciousness and unconsciousness.
The introspection in the work breaks free through the use of colour that bursts with vibrant feelings of longing and searching, but also knowing.
The FACE
SHAPE of
COLOUR
is a
flush of emotion.
The FACE
SHAPE of
COLOUR
breathes our
bodies into shape.
The FACE
SHAPE of
COLOUR
escapes the
human form,
and lays out the artist’s visions of “real”, and psychic landscapes.
Interpretations of mind, body, and space hum in brilliant tones.
Welcome to the impulsive visions of Mona Agia.

DAY
NIGHT° OWL
*Haida
Wisdom.
Omens.
Vision of night.
No bird has so much myth surrounding it, nor the mysteries, as the Haida owl.
This aura of mysticism owes to the bird’s nocturnal activities, and soft calls.
Night time has always been partially hidden to humans.
Owl is of the feminine. Owl holds symbolic resonance with the moon, and the night. Owl’s association with the moon ties it to fertility and seduction. Owl is a bird of magic and darkness; of prophecy and wisdom...
Owl can turn all around on a dime.

Your shoes. Your travels. by disposable orchid [DDMAF PROJECT Collaboration | Addendum]
How your life wore your path. How your path wore your shoes. How your shoes’ wear is the patterns of your objective. How your objective is reforged into objects. Objet d’art, from your stories, from a moment, into sculpture; by disposable orchid: Commissioned.
Those shoes you own, coveted, enjoyed, used, even abused.
Those shoes you wore for a time, and you just can’t release. Memories in form. They tell a piece, or place, of your life; your story, your personality, your identity at a time.
Those shoes you wore for days, or just one meaning-filled night. Imbued with that. You travelled with them in a distant land, or through every day. They witnessed events; personal, and public.
Those shoes, boots, stilettos, flats, sneakers: They keep a chapter of a story: Yours.
Inspired by your personal oral history, disposable orchid will reinterpret that chosen episode of your life, through paint, illustration, sculpture, and collage, to immortalize this period. The moment they were your companions. The artist will add texture, and dimension, building on the theme of your narrative, with overlays, fabric inserts, laser cutting, and luxurious finishings.
As part of a project, entitled DDMAF [Don’t Do Me Any Favours], involving the collection of stories and experiences, disposable orchid will work, in the medium of sculpture, to transform your shoes into luxury heirloom objects d’art, which tell your personal story, to you, and those you trust with it; and, lock meaning and memory in form.
This project is a limited engagement of disposable orchid, through SATUR DAY SWIM, de la Montagne, Montréal, for 2020.
An ongoing project on gender, sex, and race, in a globalized society, in the form of an open dialogue.
Welcome to an oral history, through conversation:
