Loop Gallery is hosting Linda Heffernan’s exhibition titled “The Perpetuation of Memory” at its Toronto venue.The exhibition depicts her practice of working with open source satellite imagery, and her preoccupation with the impact humans have on the natural world. Heffernan uses contemporary Google Earth images to recreate a series of World War II battle sites. Inspired partly by the upcoming centennial of the Armistice of November 11, 1918, the resulting images juxtapose the violence of war against impressionistic landscapes, commenting on the passage of time and the ultimate resiliency of nature. Linda Heffernan is a Cobourg-based artist exploring themes of consumer capitalism and bureaucracy in an ever more interconnected global economy. She has a BFA from OCAD University and her work is included in private and public collections in Canada. Linda Heffernan has been a member of Loop Gallery since 2006. She has exhibited her work in a number of galleries in Toronto’s Queen West district, as well as Whitby’s Station Gallery, The Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, and the Northumberland Art Gallery. The exhibition is on view through April 22, 2018, at Loop Gallery, 1273 Dundas St. W. Toronto, ON M6J 1X8.For details, visit: http://www.loopgallery.ca/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
