Studio Cartel: a weirdly encouraging dream
Camille Betts received her BFA from Alberta College of Art and Design in 2006 studying sculpture, fibre and media arts after switching from industrial design.

Lane Shordee is a multidisciplinary artist living in Calgary, Alberta.

Shordee’s notable works include THE GREENHOUSE (Kensington, Calgary – Wreck City: An Epilogue for 809) and WATER SPIRAL (A collaborative public work with Michelena Bamford, waterspiral.wordpress.com). What will you show us at The Dream Factory? The ideas are still very much in a dream mode, but what you will find is an installation that looks at two sides of dreaming.
