Sharing some final photos from my time at @golden_art_fdn
Truly grateful to have had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in material exploration, working across an expansive range of paints, mediums, and technologies in ways that challenged and expanded my approach to making.
Thank you to Emma and Jess for taking such wonderful care of my co-residents and me throughout our month at the Foundation Studio. It was a truly a privilege to have access to the full range of Golden products 🤯 and minds of the brilliant team of technicians.
Would not be offended if that lemon tart recipe made its way into my inbox 🍋

Braxton Garneau: 'Antilles Lace' 🖤
In his first solo exhibition at moniquemeloche, Garneau presents a series of richly textured portraits created with harvested and hand-processed materials such as raffia, ground pearls, and asphalt, a medium that connects his Trinidadian heritage to his family’s migration to Alberta. Layered with symbols of spirituality, trade, and cultural continuity, these works reflect on how materials can hold memory and transform histories into new forms.

moniquemeloche is pleased to present two solo exhibitions opening next Saturday, September 20.
In the main galleries, 'To Translate is to Move Across' features new works by Lagos-born, Chicago-based Luke Agada. Drawing on Homi Bhabha’s concept of the “third space,” Agada explores globalization, migration, and cultural dislocation through surrealist paintings and drawings that hover between form and fluidity. Since moving to the US in 2021 for his MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Agada has reflected on how home can mean more than one place. For his first full solo exhibition with the gallery, the works articulate a vision of movement that resists fixed categories, exposing the hybrid, fluid nature of meaning and belonging.
In Gallery 3, 'Antilles Lace' marks the first solo exhibition at the gallery by Canadian artist Braxton Garneau. Garneau draws from European portraiture and Afro-Caribbean traditions to explore diasporic and colonial histories rooted in his Trinidadian heritage. Using raffia, ground pearls, marble dust, and notably asphalt- linking Trinidad’s Pitch Lake to Alberta’s oil sands, Garneau creates textured portraits that act as shrines of memory, adorned with symbols of spirituality, trade, and cultural continuity.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
