Join us at the Gallery at Queen’s Park for an Artist Talk with Jay Freemantle. In his interactive public talk, Jay will focus on how his work has been a part of his mental wellness journey. He will use specific examples of his work to illustrate the Internal Family Systems therapy paradigm and will answer questions about the work and his process.

Jay Freemantle is currently exhibiting his show "Pinned & Wriggling" at the Gallery at Queen's Park from Nov.1 - Nov.24th. Pinned & Wriggling showcases 20 different mixed media collages "inspired by my mental health journey, tracing trauma trailheads from my early youth through my exploration of the Internal Family Systems therapy paradigm. The work speaks to the loneliness and isolation as a queer child in a challenging family environment. I recast memories, emotions, and internal personalities as ghostly visions and dark fables. Familiar figures, like the chilling visage of a scarecrow or a mangy rat, stand as concrete examples of emotions and responses."
