In this episode of the History Slam, Sean Graham talks with artist Martha Johnson about her new exhibit Shadow Red, which commemorates the 100th anniversary of Tom Thomson’s death. They chat about her personal connection to Tom Thomson, his legacy in Canada’s art community, and her artistic style. They also talk about the exhibit, using blankets as a canvas, what visitors can expect, and how nature has influenced Canadian art. The exhibit runs through October 1 at Toronto’s ArteMbassy.
