About Migration/Transmigration
In this striking black ink on white drawing by Canadian artist Lynne Fernie, three standing figures appear to move across the canvas. Fernie’s abstract compositions explore the graceful gestures and energy of bodies and libidos—both human and animal.“It’s a visual language in the same sense as when a poet sits down, and they have some sort of feeling. They know there’s something to be said.” Lynne Fernie
