 ce\n\nThe Redpath Museum is pleased to present Shadowland at the Redpath\,
  an exhibition by Lorraine Simms. Drawings from her ongoing series will be
  exhibited within the permanent collections throughout the two second-floo
 r galleries.\n\nIn these works\, Simms faithfully represents the shadows c
 ast by the skulls and bones of endangered animals. Working with specimens 
 from the vast collections at the American Museum of Natural History in New
  York (NY)\, the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa (Ontario)\, and here\
 , at the Redpath Museum in Montreal\, Simms’s drawings explore concepts of
  absence\, empathy\, and loss. These ghostly drawings suggest disappearanc
 e\, both of individual animals and of their species.\n\nTime expands in th
 ese drawings: months of forensic attention are devoted to the process of t
 ransforming traced outlines into luminous grey tones. The subtle sense of 
 movement created by these transparent overlapping shadows conjures the spi
 rit\, or ghost\, of each animal. This haunting evocation of a once living 
 animal encourages feelings of reverence\, empathy\, and kinship.\n\nAbout 
 the Artist:\n\nLorraine Simms has exhibited her work across Canada and in 
 the United States over a career that spans more than 30 years. Drawings fr
 om Shadowland have been widely exhibited\, including at the Canadian Museu
 m of Nature (Ottawa)\, the Beaty Museum of Biodiversity (Vancouver)\, and 
 the Illingworth Kerr Gallery (Calgary). Simms is the recipient of numerous
  grants from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and the Canada 
 Council for the Arts. Lorraine Simms is based in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.\n\nI
