Very Good Advice

Very Good Advice
2009

"Locating herself slyly in that world that is 'through' the Looking Glass, Toronto-based artist Jenn E Norton inhabits the digital equivalent of Wonderland with her new work Very Good Advice. She's not quite here and yet not 'away' either. It's up for discussion. Vulnerable in the way that small urban animals are, she rests in a space of both incipient danger and latent redemption. Will she stay or will she go? Either way, it's a lovely ride, full of lithe humour and visual delight, tempered with the dark side potential for total annihilation lurking, if not on screen, at least in our imagination."
-Lisa Steele

Come, theres no use crying like that! Alice said to herself rather sharply. I advise you to leave off this minute. Alice generally gave herself very good advice (though she seldom ever followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes; and once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. But its no use now, thought poor Alice, to pretend to be two people! Why, theres hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person! -Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
