Letter Opener
When life gives you lemons, forget the lemonade and instead, make art. That’s the motto of Form Letters, a new show from Vancouver-based artist Heather Passmore now on at The New Gallery.
Passmore has created a series of drawings on and around rejection letters she has received throughout her career. The project starts with a commission and a thematic request from a client and ends working around the many incarnations of “unfortunately,” “we regret to inform you,” and “good luck.”
Rejection never looked so good. —MG
