Arleigh Wood is showing some pieces from her series AFTER THE RAINS. These highly textured mixed media paintings are filled with silk screened abandoned shelters, painted geometric shapes, hand drawn roots and trees. Both beautiful and unsettling, these landscapes explore themes of climate change, Japanese Canadian internment, ghost towns, gentrification and human resilience.
While these houses are located in spectacular places such as Vancouver, Iceland and Joshua Tree, the actual location is not of primary importance. It is more the universality and ubiquity of these makeshift shelters and the stories they contain.
APRIL 2024
Shannon Pawliw’s series of paintings WEAVINGS is where she delves into the nuanced relationship between structure and fluidity, utilizing the canvas as an arena for creative experimentation. The collection features a series of paintings that seamlesslyintegrate intricate, grid-like patterns with expressive, organic strokes, invitingspectators into a dialogue between order and spontaneity. The woven grid in metaphorical loom, where colours intertwine to create a visual tapestry that transcends conventional boundaries. Each brushstroke functions as a thread, meticulously placed yet granted the freedom to move within the confines of the canvas.

Photography and Installation
.INSTRU MENTAL
Arnt and Valerie Arntzen
Instru Mental was inspired by the collection of dead and discarded instruments gathered over the years. They decided to follow in Picasso’s footsteps and deconstruct and then re-construct. Their artistic practices melded beautifully together and the duo learned so much from each other. During the process they started to tap into each other’s skills to put this work together whether it was from a physical talent or an aesthetic decision.
