Opening Reception Jan 14, 3-5pm
Through a series of pen and ink drawings referencing houses found in the Maritimes, Melanie Colosimo explores homesickness, nostalgia, and a longing for the kind of intimacy and connectedness associated with distant places we call "home." Paralleling the distortions used in the drawings, the exhibition includes a 2-channel animation that "walks" the viewer through a street scene that undergoes subtle shifts and changes, suggesting the dangers of how these places are remembered through a nostalgic lens.
John G Hampton presents an installation of photographic and digital prints that play with perception, reproduction and how artwork is framed through display strategies and conceptual practices. The works themselves depict subjects that recede into whiteness, destabilizing their status as "objects" and rendering their meaning ambiguous in a move to allow the constructive act of viewing to hold authority over the content created.
