Trevor Jamieson Artwork
944 Dagan St., Sarnia, ON, N7S 1Y5 226-402-0283 Trevor Jamieson’s art explores the shared experiences and collective memories of people, places, and times. Frequently his drawings focus on the irrational devotion of sports fandom. Obsessively creating images through meticulous repetition of statistics, Jamieson seeks to express communal stories while questioning how we define people. He is fascinated by numbers and what they can and cannot reveal. Recently Jamieson has turned his attention to hockey. Focusing not on statistics but the sense of place that defines Canada's game. Road maps are used as the surface on which hockey players are drawn. The highways and back roads that stitch together the country appear as scars that tell a shared, Canadian story of vast space and home.
