Lois Schklar
Thirty Years of Dolls

In particular social and cultural contexts, dolls were regarded as healers, talisman, teachers and spiritual guides. Like their ancient predecessors, Lois Schklar's dolls reflect personal encounters with her own place and time. Thirty Years of Dolls is an opportunity to trace the journey of Schklar's doll making through the display of 30-40 dolls, early work from 1978-1986 and mid career work from 1991-2003. Some of these dolls are in private collections and their owners have generously agreed to loan them to this exhibition.
Running concurrently from February 10, 2010 - March 13, Collected Memories: Hung Out to Dry at the Ontario Crafts Council Gallery.

Opening reception: Saturday March 5: 2 - 5 p.m.
