Ashley Bedet: a rolled chord of sunlight unfurled
February 14 - June 5, 2022
There is something particularly special about the quality of light in Mohkinstsis and Southern Alberta. Softly radiant or blindingly intense, the range of its luminescence is one of the most beautiful things about this place. Out of reverence and affection for the sun’s refraction on our plot of rock comes a new body of work dedicated to investigating and honouring the different intensities, quivering and sublime, of our sun’s rays.
Ashley Bedet
In 2015 Ashley Bedet came back to Mohkinstsis/Calgary, where she was born, after studying art in some manner or another in Vancouver (Emily Carr University of Art + Design), Halifax (NSCAD University), and Amsterdam (Gerrit Rietveld Academie). Her work has been disseminated through sculpture, installation, publication, radio, and multiples via the 2017 Alberta Biennial; public commissions from cREative realm, Calgary; Contemporary Calgary; TELUS Spark Science Centre, Calgary; and The Bows, Calgary. Bedet is the product of many very different worlds reproducing, meeting differences, and then reproducing again. She is to a braid what string is to thread. Bedet’s work has been supported through funding from Calgary Arts Development, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and private patrons.
