Branch Art Exhibit: Storytelling -- works by Adira Rotstein

Throughout the month of November, the works of artist Adira Rotstein are on display at Deer Park branch.

Adira Rotstein is a Toronto artist, writer and teacher. Her YA novels 'Little Jane Silver' and 'Little Jane and the Nameless Isle' are published by Dundurn. She has experience in sequential art, creating comic books and illustrating stories. She also loves experimenting with the boundaries of stopmotion and hand drawn animation. I am curious about the world in all beauty and absurdity

"Usually, with my artwork I attempt to tell a story. People say I am able to imbue even inanimate objects with a personality, human agency and warmth. People's faces, their motions, their discarded objects at rest tell stories about where they have been, what they have felt and where they are going. Slow down and see what they have to say. Even the smallest among us has a perspective worth learning about and a beauty worth sensing."

This exhibit is part of TPL's Art Exhibit Space program. Toronto Public Library provides space for local artists to exhibit their work at locations across the city. These exhibits aim to reflect the diverse cultural interests of the city and its neighbourhoods.
