Strings
StringsCharcoal on paper, 2005 - Strings will be on view at the Agnes Etherington Art Gallery, The Hold Exhibition, Kingston, Ontario - Strings is a sensitive line drawing of two forearms, wrapped in a coil of string. The hands are distorted by rheumatoid arthritis, a painful degenerative disease of the joints from which the artist has suffered for many years. This work is part of a series of such representations of the body in affecting self-portraits. Based in Kingston, Gabrielle Sims works in video installation, painting, and drawing. Her work appears in public and private collections in Canada, the US and Europe.
