Words Beyond the Canvas
The project, WORDS BEYOND THE CANVAS, seeks to create paintings inspired by my father’s writing, as well as strives to craft a mini biography about who he was as an artist and human, who spent much of his life in the Eastern Townships.
Through 2024 and 2025, I have been combining the visual arts with literature and personal history, in hopes of exploring and celebrating David Sorensen’s legacy in a unique and creative way.
The three phases involved are:
(1) Compilation of David Sorensen’s Writing,
(2) Creation of Paintings and Installations
(3) Commemoration Crafting.
This project is a heartfelt endeavour that celebrates my father's lesser-known passion for writing, reflects his inquisitive and creatively enthusiastic mind and explores his life in the Eastern Townships. I hope to preserve his art and stories, ensuring that his contributions to the world of art and his impact as a human being are recognized and remembered.
