Mulherin Pollard Projects is pleased to present she feels it all, a group exhibition featuring works by Canadian women artists from Toronto, New York and Los Angeles. Interestingly connected, the artists in this exhibition invite us on an impressive voyage. Relating to their own lives, and the long and winding roads of others, each artist contributes work that is at once magical and transparent. Through transformative means, forceful and emotive content merges with contemporary issues in image and object production.

The title, she feels it all, comes from a photographic text work made by Sojourner Truth Parsons, which is presented in the show. We stumble upon a path where a patch of flowers provides the message.

The work presented here is very much an extension of the artists themselves, full of sensuous labour, disturbance, and history. Their work is connected to their lives and the lives of those around them. Building community through their varied practices: whether they are painting their friends, photographing strangers, creating social experiments, documenting an imaginary or forgotten past, travelling, exploring, connecting, performing, collaborating, organizing, or facilitating, these artists are prime examples of what gets made when artmaking becomes everyday practice.

The opening reception will feature musical performances by the Halifax-based duo, Tasseomancy (formerly the Ghost Bees), and Toronto-based *Castlemusic *(Jennifer Castle).
