Exhibit Opening: They are Loved – an epidemic of grief – Artist Tracey-Mae Chambers

Exhibit Opening: They are Loved – an epidemic of grief – Artist Tracey-Mae Chambers Friday May 1 | 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM FREE to attend; all are welcome. Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP at brucemuseum.ca or by calling (519) 797-2080. Tracey-Mae Chambers’ goal in this exhibition as a grieving mother is to raise awareness about the number of lost across Canada due to substance consumption and illustrate, in a physical way, that every one of these people were loved. This project, although grown from one mother’s loss, has developed into a project that over time will represent hundreds of lost loved ones. Each piece of clothing, or other textile-based material used in this installation has been donated by someone who is surviving the loss of someone due to the consumption of a harmful substance that resulted in death. The donated textile is cut up into strips and tied to the others, binding the pain of our families together.
