installation view
Celebrate our gallery’s tenth anniversary at the opening reception of “Hambidge Suite”, a new exhibition of pictures and sculptures by Edmonton artist Ryan McCourt, opening Saturday, February 3rd, from 2-5 pm, at Common Sense: 10546 – 115 street, Edmonton. Admission is free, and the artist will be in attendance.
“Hambidge Suite” presents new photographs and sculptures created by Ryan McCourt during his recent four-week residency at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences, in Rabun Gap, Georgia, USA. McCourt’s landscape photographs in the exhibition highlight the rustic beauty of the residency setting, documenting the compelling visual effects of changing light, atmosphere, and viewpoint. His intimately-scaled sculptures on display, assembled in an isolated cabin/studio on the grounds of the Hambidge Center, are composed of an assortment of brass objects, sourced from searching innumerable antique shops in the region, from Tennessee to North Carolina, and across North Georgia.
