This exhibition holds at its core the exploration of what Lois describes as ‘an accumulated life’. After decades of art-making, the artist reflects on her process both professionally and personally. The show engages issues of identity and the building of identity, it confronts aging, illness, and death. It reflects on personal agency, on holding fast and letting go. Lois beautifully negotiates the path between past and present, exploring her own history as a means of finding resolution in her own narrative. In this exhibition, Lois has turned the lens on mortality, focusing on ephemeral materials – paper, glass, mirror, kinetic sculpture – to dematerialize the object and bring the viewer closer to the meaning than the medium. She has sifted through a lifetime of what we carry, what we hold on to, what we let go of and what, in the end, we keep.
