To Feb 19, Visual Arts gallery, Abby B136. Laura Saito graduated from UFV in 2000 with a diploma in Fine Arts. In 2003, she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr. Her area of practice included sculpture, photography, painting, drawing and multimedia. Much of her work is rooted in the experience of history and memory and their relationship to the future’s inherent uncertainty.
David Saito is also an alumnus of UFV (1999) and he finished his BFA at Simon Fraser University in 2002. Like Laura, David utilizes diverse media of artistic production in his work, with a focus on image and text. His work centres on capitalism/consumerism and the ability, or inability, to foster an identity within these paradigms. This will be the first time that David and Laura have exhibited together.
