Untethered presents paintings and drawings by Toronto-based artist Erin Armstrong that explore the quiet, disorienting experience of feeling unmoored: physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Solitary figures drift through elemental landscapes, seated on eroding rocks, suspended mid-fall, floating alone at sea. The works linger in the charged stillness before or after impact, waiting for something to shift. Water is both setting and metaphor—scale, exposure, and uncertainty at once. The result inhabits a contemplative space between presence and disappearance, control and surrender.
