Lori Goldberg spends time with the mundane elements of daily life in her work. Through the painted accumulation of this minutiae, a sort of unorthodox history is born on the canvas: one in which the personal, the cultural, the overlooked, and the forgotten seep in and colour what is being pictured.

In one, Disney’s Bambi perches on a branch. We cannot understand concepts like nature, romance, and spirituality, the artist reminds us, without our current cultural framework and the baggage that comes with it. 'Deconstructing Nature' and 'Pick up Sticks' requires the vie...
