“In the past two years, the eleven artists participating in this exhibition have worked to develop, deconstruct, and redefine their individual art practices within the incubating structure of the MFA program at York University. Having shared workspaces, mentors, and classes together, the graduating artists emerge here not as creative collaborators. Rather, they form a set of singular, potent voices that grow more resonant through the incidental fricatives and harmonies arising in and from encounters with one another.”
-Vanessa Fleet & Megan Toye, excerpt from Encounters Publication Essay, 2015
