Excerpt from essay for exhibition catalogue:
"Not Everything All at Once"
solo exhibition | Janice Wong | Open Studio Gallery| Toronto, 2005.
Janice Wong's works are exquisitely crafted compositions of colour and geometry that look like science and feel like a dream; schematics of systems floating in larger systems; hybrids of light and sound and other things we don't know. They are at once rational and mystical, mathematical and organic, scientific and spiritual, dynamic and meditative. They are calm and beautiful things that seduce and invite the viewer in where the final transcendence happens; we start to think about the relationships between the lines and the shapes and the blurs and the colours and the composition, and by our nature start to organize and make sense of these equations, this code, this language. We stay this long enough to think about these things because the work is curious and beautiful and we feel its sincerity. Curious, beautiful and sincere; there is truth there.
James Koester, Vancouver 2005
