Yes

For Modern Fuel’s 10th Regional Juried Exhibition, Throwing Tomatoes at the Sky, guest curator Camilla Singh has chosen works by nine Kingston-based artists: James Greatrex, Dorene Inglis, Troy Leaman, Benjamin Nelson, Aly Ogasian, Gjen Snider, Rebecca Soudant, Amy Uyeda, and Rafaela Vidinha. Modern Fuel’s regional juried exhibitions are meant to reflect the wide-ranging practices of artists in the Greater Kingston region and to provide a forum in which to compare artistic modalities from one year to the next.

Lynne Wynick writes: "My work propels itself through various media bouncing ideas back and forth, in a practice where the studio process and resultant detritus are embraced. Through investigations of location and scale, in allowing for the unexpected and utilizing the unintentional, I create a situation that is ripe for engagement and interpretation. The work intentionally confounds the perception of scale for the viewer through an ambiguous or skewed context.
