Vitrine Exhibition at Tangled Art + Disability, Toronto

September 11-November 13, 2026

Opening Reception:
September 11, 2026
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Through their solo exhibition the visitor (revisited), artist Laura Kay Keeling presents collages of lush ecosystems that honor a time of connection and grief shared with a praying mantis in her backyard. Digital and analog images taken during this time are then reflected and repeated onto themselves, much as an insect’s compound eye might see it. In this way, Keeling processes the id of the viewer through a small, cradled look at the world; one full of meaning and story. Collaboration with the mantis’ little view to the outside world allows for endless growth of temporal emotional memory. These works document green, verdant maps to neurodivergent joy — and the mutual care that can be found in the power of witnessing.

I would like to acknowledge and thank the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario for generously supporting this project & exhibition

I’m honoured to be a part of the Therapeutic Art Initiative at the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health (CAMH)

This program includes 27 established and emerging artists from across Canada, bringing 50+ diverse art forms into the two new buildings at CAMH’s Queen Street site: the Temerty Discovery Centre and the Waverley House Secure Care and Recovery Building.

For this project, I contributed one large-scale piece spanning the length of a full hallway exploring our connections with nature and the journey through Ontario's natural ecosystems. Developed in collaboration with an art consultant, patients, and clinical staff, the work is grounded in themes of nature, lived experience, and care and is aimed at instilling a sense of calm, belonging, and dignity for everyone who moves through these spaces.

It is meaningful to work within an initiative that recognizes the role art can play in healing and community.
