Opening Reception: 6 - 9 pm, Wednesday 11 September 2024
The pluck of water is a phrase the Irish poet Seamus Heaney used in his poem ‘The Diviner’ to describe the sensation experienced by a man using a fork of hazel wood to detect water hidden underground. Heaney’s words also aptly describe the pull of the artworks in this exhibition, which have a kinship to divining rods bringing us to rills of meaning and connections, beauty and questions.
This is a group exhibition featuring work by KC Adams, Alexis Auréoline, Jaime Black-Morsette, Sarah Crawley, Chantal Dupas, Laila Fazal, Noëlla Gauthier, Ariel Gordon, Ted Howarth, Jennine Krauchi, Mathew Lacosse, Erika MacPherson, Tracy Peters, Chuckwudubem Ukaigwe, Katherena Vermette, and Diane Whitehouse.
