Fueled by increased espresso consumption, food delivery, and twenty-year-old Cindy Crawford workout videos, Belliveau attends endless online meetings and teaches so many virtual art classes that they all start to blend together. But even in pandemic times, life goes on, and Belliveau soon finds herself navigating much bigger challenges – like pregnancy and tenure.Item The conjuror II(2009) Mallon, DarciThis digital image was part of a series in which a small pine cone was used as a metaphor to represent the artist as a creator of reality and illusion.

I argue that both Return to the Present (2011), and Étude taxonomique et comparative entre les castes de la Nouvelle Espagne et celles du Mexique contemporain (2010) provide critical insights into the historical roots of the racial constructs that still prevail in contemporary societies.Item Item Giotto's remorse(1982) Mallon, DarciThe mask worn by the female referenced a Japanese Noh theatre mask entitled, "The Blind Weakling." Although the artist was not the female in the painting, the image was essentially a self-portrait. Acrylic on four canvas covered panels, 11 feet x 7 feet. Collection of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.Item Golgi studies(2001) Mallon, DarciThe Golgi Studies comprised a series of images of slices of the brain, drawn by burning into oak wood veneer. In the process of drawing the brain sections and articulating their form, the wood grain was revealed through the hardness and softness of the veneer, hence the drawing process could be considered a metaphor for the nature/nurture dynamic and brain plasticity. The small burn marks resembled that of the brown neurons revealed in the slides produced by Camilo Golgi, the neuroanatomist who discovered how to stain and render visible, a complete neuron. The center of each image was sanded through the veneer to expose the underlying particleboard, suggesting a scotoma or blind spot. Each image was framed with an ornate frame that had a scallop/kidney-shaped form common within the brain.
