SHADOWLAND: In the News

December 8, 2021

Border Crossings

Simms, Lorraine. “Shadowland”, Portfolio, Border Crossings, Human / Nature, Issue #159, 2022.


Espace

“Terre obscure est un ajout temporaire de grande valeur au musée. Cette exposition offre une nouvelle perspective dans une atmosphère fantomatique propice à l’imagination des visiteurs.”

Lalonde, Gabrielle. “Lorraine Simms, Terre obscure”. Espace online, May 2022.


Ottawa Citizen

“In the end, it’s an exhibition that not only captures the spirit of endangered animals and birds and infuses them with movement, but also evokes reflection on the potentially fleeting nature of life on Earth, perhaps more so than any scientific data.”

Saxberg, Lynn. “Exhibit at Ottawa’s museum of nature finds art in the shadows of endangered animals”. Ottawa Citizen, 10 December 2021.


Apt613.ca

“The results are truly haunting and beautiful. They are traces of the real thing, just like the chemically‑treated specimens can be said to be traces of the live creatures that once roamed.”

Valley, Taymaz. “Exhibition: Shadowland at the Museum of Nature”. Apt613.ca, 15 December 2021.


Capital Current

“These ethereal drawings serve as echoes from the gradual extinction of the threatened and endangered species used in her work.”

Tynes-MacDonald, Phalen. “Ghostly exhibit at Canadian Museum of Nature explores shadow of extinction hanging over vulnerable species”. Capital Current, Arts & Culture, 13 December 2021.


Le Droit

“Loin d’être traditionnels, les dessins d’ombrages de Lorraine Simms ne sont pas ceux d’animaux, mais ceux d’os, de vertèbres ou d’espèces naturalisées. L’occasion d’interpeller le visiteur de façon métaphorique sur la menace qui pèse sur ces animaux. Et s’ils ne devenaient plus que des ombres dans nos mémoires?”

Lejeune, Anicée. “Des espèces menacées entre l’ombre et la lumière”. Le Droit, 12 December 2021.
