Twin Flames
Christie Contemporary
64 Miller St, Toronto, ON M6N 2Z9
April 3 - May 2, 2026
Welch uses strategies of repetition, layering and mirroring in both her paintings and sculptural work and draws from a concise index of forms generated from her research of plants, animals and insects, looking particularly at camouflage response. Instances of twinning and mirroring relate to a quality of mimicry, or hiding in plain sight, through pattern. With her columnar sculpture, Welch employs this iterative approach as a kind of anonymizing field with like forms radially arranged and repeated in a vertical stack. The shapes of these sculptural building blocks are articulated from the negative space between two forms, set in relation to one another, Rorschach-like. In a flat, uniform black, the column shifts from representing void space to shadow, in and of itself, a gesture in repetition.
