mixed media
All of the artists will be in attendance for the opening of the two exhibitions on March 6 at 7:00 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend this free event. The exhibitions will both continue until April 18.
The companion exhibition to After Eden is Anima by Lydia Miller. Originally from Nelson but now based in the Victoria area, Miller is exploring materials from the sea and land for this exhibition. Miller is a weaver and uses her practice as a metaphor for life and its survival. The artist will construct a woven installation in the West Gallery for this exhibition.
In conjunction with the exhibitions, adult educator and therapist, Jan Inglis is offering a workshop entitled “Grief, Grit, and Gratitude: Developing Resilience in the Face of Climate Crisis”. This workshop will take place at the Kootenay Gallery of Art on April 18 from 1:00 – 4:30, on the last day of the exhibitions.
In Lydia Miller's Anima, relationships are woven between the Ocean and the Mountains. Life is reflected through the remains of the animals and plants who once contributed to their environment. Every facet of our Earth has a soul, countless years of energy which have amalgamated into physical beings
