Sheri Heaslip

This Ottawa Valley native bases her mixed-media collages on incidental snapshots of historical images that purposely look accidental—the kind of images that would ordinarily be deleted on your smartphone. She blows them up into large-format prints augmented with pieces of fabric, paper and shaped incisions or cut-outs. Disjointed and opaque, they subversively comment on the culture of causally shared and disposal imagery in the age of social media—“pressing you” as Sheri puts it, “to look and then look again.”
