EXHIBITIONS

Alterplece Takako Suzuld Exhibit.
Cartwright Gallery June 2 - July 17, 1988
“Two languages and two cultural identities have
shaped my identity; I am a Canadian of Japanese
origin and 1986 marked the point at which I had spent
twenty two years in each country. The wish to
commemorate and explore this passage has been the
underlying impulse for the creation of a large scale
altarpiece celebrating aspects of both cultures. The
work incorporates my interest in popular Japanese
shrines where multiple images are commonly used
and also the current interest in architectural or-
namentalism."
- Takako Suzuki 1968
