"Edmonton-born, Berlin-based artist Adam Shiu-Yang Shaw engineers sculptures, brushed with a rustic patina, that recall industrial forms. In her profile on Shaw, writer Lauren Lavery frames his practice as a way of “understanding the evolving abstraction of material and technology in these times.” Shaw’s work carries a cool sentimentality, industrial objects softened by the touch of time. A similar feeling surfaces in the work of Winnipeg artist Tobin Rowland. Through image transfers on canvas and wood—trinkets, keepsakes, treasures in a minor key—their artist project, contained in these pages, is like stepping into a childhood bedroom decorated with sunbleached wallpaper, at once warm and a bit melancholic."
