Liz Magor's Storage Facilities features recent works that suggest a collision of domesticity with nature, while looking at the display and delivery of objects.

A series of cast sculptures - food trays, wrapped candies, half-smoked cigarettes, pocket-sized bottles of liquor - are presented atop tables and appear to be leftovers from a bout of compulsive consumption.

An Associate Professor in Visual Arts at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Magor produces sculptural and photo-based works that sensitively address issues of place and refuge, creation and transformation, production and reproduction, identity and the material, yet fragile condition of the human body.
