A retired elementary school principle must confront spaces both concrete and virtual, as she attempts to naviagte the ghosts of her past.
With Marie Haddad
~
“Haddad’s The Beautiful Room is Empty explores the loaded memories of space through his aunt, Marie, (re)visiting her childhood home and recalling the abuse she endured there. […] What have the walls been listening to? What have they absorbed, retained, and released upon a return, a farewell?
- Sarah Sarofim, Canadian Art
