AB - Uses psychoanalytic theory and the work of artist Mary Kelly to analyze the paintings of Christiane Pflug, a German immigrant who lived and painted in Toronto from 1959 until her suicide in 1972. Pflug's paintings, comprised of domestic spaces or views through windows, represent both the artist's conscious memory and her unconscious desires. Pflug's depictions of everyday objects are unfamiliar and strange. Her paintings not only reflect feelings of isolation and mother/child loss, but highlight the difficulty women have in attempting to represent feminine loss with only patriarchal symbols from which to draw.
