Geoffrey Farmer: The Sound of Footsteps as Summer Walks Away at West Vancouver Art Museum.

From the press release:

This exhibition presents new works by Geoffrey Farmer, featuring cardboard box dioramas with paper cutouts that explore formative events and memories from his upbringing in Dundarave, West Vancouver.

Jung Institute in Zürich, the works employ spontaneous play to access unconscious thoughts and emotions.
