Derek Besant stages a site-specific installation of printed shaped veils and a large scale 15-minute looping video projection. The out-of-focus close-up images of trees and forest flora create a dense visual environment for the viewers to decode possible hidden narratives suggested by text fragments incorporated in some images.
Join us for the opening reception of The Dark Woods (Revisited) on Thursday, May 24, 2018, from 6-8 p.m. at the Vernon Public Art Gallery.
Derek Besant will be in attendance at the opening reception and will give an Artist Talk during the reception. Open to the public, admission is by donation.
