Sylvia Trotter Ewens Explores Dual Belonging at Plato Gallery
Sylvia Trotter Ewens, an artist from Montreal, showcases her exhibition "Echoes of Elsewhere" at Plato Gallery, which will be open until May 30. This collection combines images from Honduras and Québec, illustrating her unique perspective as a Honduran-born adoptee who grew up in Canada. Trotter Ewens earned her DEC in Fine Arts from Dawson College and holds both a BFA and MFA in Painting from Concordia University. Her artistic approach intertwines architectural elements, ecological themes, and personal stories, forming fragmented spaces that delve into memory, identity, and cultural dislocation. The works presented draw from photographs of both regions, merging diverse landscapes to evoke lasting impressions of places and connections over time.
