I am working on Army of Light, scheduled for exhibition at Crows Nest Pass Public Art Gallery, May-June 2026.

This is a digital mock up. I am beyond grateful to be awarded a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts to complete this installation. 

​

Army of Light is a ten-figure installation of mannequins hand-painted by Ania Telfer, exploring the intersection of spirituality, healing, and the human spirit.

See below for work in progress images.

"I rejoice to hear that thou takest pains with thine art, for in this wonderful new age, art is worship. The more thou strivest to perfect it, the closer wilt thou come to God. What bestowal could be greater than this, that one’s art should be even as the act of worshipping the Lord? That is to say, when thy fingers grasp the paintbrush, it is as if thou wert at prayer in the Temple."
