Susan Schelle
Susan Schelle, a Toronto artist and Fine Arts instructor at the University of Toronto is currently teaching a course entitled "Women and Art" [VIS 209H]. This course explores the history of women artists and the concept of the feminine in art with a strong focus on recent works and an emphasis on Canadian artists. Schelle has done a number of large public sculptures, including Salmon Run at the Sky Dome; the domino-and-chessboard themed Spadina and Bloor parkette (on the south-east corner of the intersection); a life-size granite couch in the courtyard of the posh Prince Albert Condominium Complex (north of the intersection of Bloor and Avenue, on the west side); and an inlaid floor and massive book stack sculpture at the York University campus. She is currently working on an exhibition of photographs, and frequently collaborates with a partner. A selection of gallery showings of her work from the early nineties is included below, and each picture provides a link to the gallery site where it is archived. These gallery sites often include a brief explanation and description of the piece, the time it was displayed, and sometimes a critical analysis.

After all these years of struggle, it's coming into the wholeness of life, the wholeness of yourself again. And you realise that you had nothing to learn -- that you had it all from the very beginning. Once you make good in one thing, all else will follow.
