Quiet Pandemonium 15, Winnie, 2020
Available at the Contemporary Art Gallery, 555 Nelson St. in Vancouver. Lyse Lemieux’s 2020 Quiet Pandemonium 15 (Winnie) inkjet print, watercolour 20" x 14" (50.8cm X 35.5cm) Edition of 10 + 2 APs; signed with hand-painted details, unframed ($400) For over 40 years, Lyse Lemieux’s prolific, experimental drawing practice has seen her operate between abstraction and representation. During the initial weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic — and its attendant struggles with disconnection, restriction and uncertainty — Lemieux began a series of ink on paper drawings titled Quiet Pandemonium, from which this piece is drawn. Originally titled Quiet Pandemonium 15, Lemieux revised the work's title by adding the name Winnie following a friend's reference to the lead character from Samuel Beckett’s 1961 play Happy Days, where a woman is embedded in sand — first to her waist, then to her neck — as she tries to go about her daily life. Produced here in an edition of 10, the artist has applied select watercolour details by hand to each print.

NOT JUST ANY DRESS 2004
Narratives of memory, body and identify. If dresses could talk, what stories might they tell? This compelling collection of short stories, essays, and poems features dress as the structural grounding for autobiographical accounts from women’s lives in Western society. Often personal in nature, these «dress stories» point unfailingly to matters of social and cultural import. Some of the dresses described inhabit the popular imagination: the little girl dress, the communion dress, the school uniform, the prom dress, the wedding dress, the little black dress, and the burial dress. Beyond the semiotic, tactile, and visual aspects of the dresses themselves, the narratives delve into what dresses reveal about fundamental aspects of human experience: identity, embodiment, relationship, and mortality. Bought or made, then worn, forgotten, remembered, re-constructed, and re-interpreted, each dress offers a new glimpse into how we construct meaning in our daily lives, and how dresses serve to reinforce or resist social structures and cultural expectations
