Fascinate explores the practice of looking and desire through recent drawings and analog photography by Tyler Durbano. Using pencil crayon on archival paper, abstract drawings reveal a rich visual vocabulary of geometric and organic forms that move between transparency and opacity, flatness and texture. Complementing and contextualizing these, Polaroid photos map queer histories and spatial intuitions in the Barrie region. Motifs such as trails, silhouettes, and suggestive objects evoke cruising as a practice of reading between signs and traces. Together, these parallel practices explore intuition and reflection, using visual framing as a metaphor for thresholds between self and world, form and feeling, abstraction and queer experience.

This exhibition includes an essay written by curator Francisco-Fernando Granados.
