PORTRAITS: The show will feature 27 portraits, i nscribed with bold brush strokes and adventurous colours, that

capture the psychological experience of Ottawa's leading psychotherapists and artists, as Tompalski's work is concerned with intuition, interpretation and the unconscious dialogue experienced during the portrait sitting.

SOUND TRACKS: The sound tracks, developed by videographer Graham Thompson, splice together unscripted comments with originial computer music, and the sounds of birds, roller coasters,		and bagpipes . This dialogue allows for a glimpse into the developmental process of the painting through the tri-construction of the model, the painter and the videographer.
	TIME-LAPSE VIDEOS: In addition to the portable CDROM audio tracks that accompany 12 of the 27 portraits, there will also be  time-lapse videos of 12 portraits presented on video monitors and projectors.
