Sidney Gordon, "Dog Rose, Autumn Leaves and Red Flowering Current 3 from X̱á7elcha (Lynn Creek) Watergrams (series)," 2022.

Poster: David Macgillivray.

Sidney Gordon and David Macgillivray are pleased to announce a show of photography at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in the Michael O’Brian Exhibition Commons (Zone 2).

repetition + difference reflects two emerging photographic practices. Through a camera-less technique of exposing light-sensitive paper to natural forces, Gordon works in alliance with the waters of Xá7elcha (Lynn Creek) to record moments of light refraction. By processing with surrounding plant materials, the images are co-authored and location-specific. Macgillivray experiments with multiple exposures and the camera in motion. He photographs interior surfaces, making compositions whose form and colour are defined by fluctuating temperatures and intensities of daylight.

These methods of image-making are bound by a continued receptivity to the elements; a connectivity to body and place. The artists give themselves over to the conditions of a process while at the same time maintaining a penchant to respond.

Private and group viewings are available daily. A guided tour of the exhibition will take place on Sunday, June 5 at 2pm.
