Leila Armstrong, "Flexi", 2011

acrylic on paper, 20” x 28”

Opening Reception: November 30 2019

Living in southern Alberta, one develops a relationship with our environment, understanding that with every season tell-tale indications remind us of what lays ahead. What remains the constant is our landscape, our topography. We develop navigational skills only to rely on them as we move through the familiar and unfamiliar reaches of what we come to define as home. Such is growing up in southern Alberta, inside this backdrop that holds us acutely to its every pulse, its every sigh, its every murmur, its every memory.

The exhibition RANGE brings together Leila Armstrong, Katie Bruce, Beany Dootjes, and Sarah Fuller. Four artists, four women, four friends. The selected artworks in RANGE will provide its viewers with a clear measure of how each artist relates to her surroundings. What defines each artist is their fresh, decisive take on that which impacts them. What unites them is their abundance of inspiration that is, at once, a range of narratives. That each of these four visual accounts are striking unique, they each speak to and relate with the notion of home.

The artwork in RANGE explores facets of the artists lives reaching into memories of youthful play, skillful practice, fictional meanderings and the fluidity of nature.
