strata, 2021
by Marcia Huyer
(wallpaper, paint, glue)
The Matthews House, Duntara
Presented as part of the 2021 Bonavista Biennale: The Tonic of Wildness.
"In conceiving of strata, Marcia Huyer drew upon a quintessential aesthetic of the Bonavista Peninsula and historic houses in Newfoundland: the tattered layers of wallpaper built up over decades of lives lived in these cherished family spaces. These layers of patterned paper are the ephemeral remains of efforts to decorate, eroded and made frail by the passage of time."
—Matthew Hills, 2021 Bonavista Biennale Co-Curator
