An installation in Gallery II, July 26 – August 29, 2025

Artist Reception: Saturday July 26, 2pm-4pm

From July 26 to August 29, Sivarulrasa Gallery is delighted to present MARY PFAFF: A LITTLE MORE in Gallery II. This installation brings together several new works on paper by Almonte-based artist Mary Pfaff.

“As humans, we constantly seek a little more – whether physically, emotionally, intellectually, or spiritually”, she says. Mary Pfaff creates abstract works inspired by nature’s beauty and power. Through layered materials and an intuitive process, her works explore themes of transformation, emotion, and the balance between fragility and strength. In this new body of work, the artist uses textured paper, cloth, and collage to explore the interconnectedness of life and nature. A central work in the installation is Gathering Days Like These a 41-part artwork constructed as a book. Beautifully bound in deerskin, this work features 41 intricate mixed media compositions, each page serving as a fragment of time in a quiet, contemplative dialogue with the viewer.

Mary Pfaff earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (with distinction) from the University of Ottawa in 1990. Her works are held in public collections including Canada’s Official Residences Crown Collection, the University of Ottawa, and the City of Ottawa, as well as private collections in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia.

Artist Reception: Saturday July 26, 2pm-4pm. Artist Mary Pfaff will be in attendance.
