Paperfolds
A Solo Art Show by Julian Mulock at Todmorden Mills Heritage Site is now on display until Feb. 29. This show is a series of paintings based on a simple theme. It all started with a small painting that gathered together a few elements that were vaguely related. The intent was to create a pleasing composition and a kind of trompe l'oeil. The focus eventually shifted to the folded paper backgrounds which are the theme of Paperfolds. Papermill Gallery hours: Wednesday to Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. Todmorden Mills Heritage Site, 67 Pottery Rd. For more details, email todmorden@toronto.ca
