Shatter solo exhibit at Patrick Mikhail Gallery Montreal, March 2 – April 6, 2019

In SHATTER, Pagurek explores the tenuous state of current world affairs. Made by projecting contemporary global news imagery into delicate vintage teacups and saucers, these works evoke our own human fragility, the shattering of fragile notions of peace and social democracy, and the vulnerability of the earth itself to natural disaster. On view at Patrick Mikhail Gallery Montreal, 4815 Boul Saint-Laurent, Montreal, from March 2 – April 6, 2019.
