By Heather Spears June 1-25, 2010
The murder of 14 year old Reena Virk by schoolmates, in Victoria, aroused deep concern in about violence among children in our society. Throughout the trials Heather Spears recorded these children and their stories in an attempt to understand what happened and why it happened. Through the interpretations of her art, this Gallery art exhibition will explore Heather’s approach of being artist rather than journalist.
