A small room in an otherwise cavernous gallery was home to two new series of drawings by Canadian artist Crystal Liu. The secondary space, contained within a larger and considerably less interesting exhibition, could not have provided a more fitting scenario. Liu's "My House is Dead: it's my birthday" consists of 14 delicately drawn cakes, which are simultaneously haplessly pathetic and utterly gorgeous. Some drawings depict towers of unbalanced confectionery tiers with droopy frosting, adorned with effortlessly drawn ribbons and stars, while others appear collapsed and delicious. They are decadence unfurled, with a glimmer of hope. "Let's Stick Together" is an equally hope-filled series of small, bristly sea urchin-like objects, floating in bunches with a straggler here and there, set in fantastical, airy landscapes. Akin to the cake drawings, these too support the awkward and delicate, yet heartening narrative the title suggests. Overall this show is well worth checking out. Bring your imagination, and maybe a half-squished cupcake.
