Ted Fullerton: Figure in a Landscape

Ted Fullerton, Canadian multi-disciplinary artist, educator and curator contemplates the idea of humanity as being alien, the “Other” from nature. Through paintings and sculptures, Fullerton also explores the concept of Axis Mundi—the point of connection between the mystical and mortality, a reconciliation of opposites suggesting a “pathway” to wisdom and truth.
