Looking Inward and Looking OutwardBev Fearnehugh, Mary Lang, Jen Weyman A collective art show of Mental Health and Addictions' clients and staff. This is an initiative to empower people who are marginalized and stigmatized by mental illness and/or addictions. Our goal for the project is to connect people with the community through their art, and help to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and addictions. Our vision is to open the world of mental illness and addictions to the world outside. Our story, our creative expression, is one that touches each member of our community in one way or another. In this way we hope that each piece will be "art that belongs to everyone." 
By exploring what is within, we hope to convey all facets of the journey: the struggle, the shame, the hopelessness, as well as the healing and celebration of wellness. Art allows us to find our voice, and often express what was not known. Through colour, shape, form, and words we hope to convey the journey, the process we have lived. In telling our very human stories we hope to touch souls, creating a connection and breaking down barriers. If we can help dampen the fear and mystery that shrouds mental dis-ease, maybe we can open the door that will allow others to find the courage to heal. March 6 - 31 2013 
The Space We ShareLeah Weinstein Leah Weinstein is a Vancouver-based artist exploring tensions between practical, everyday functionality, and utopian ideals. Inspired by tents and handcrafted textiles, Leah uses textile and metal to make shelterforms for contemplative interaction. Two sculptural forms will be on display at the gallery, and an exploration in dance/movement will take place during the opening. Emphasizing the body rather than the mind as the fundamental site for knowing the world, these works are a poetic enquiry into consciousness, exploring themes of embodiment, space, and the formless within the form. Leah Weinstein gratefully acknowledges funding for the creation of this work by Columbia Basin Trust, and Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance. Media Landslide 
Manon Staiger Manon Steiger is a Gibsons artist who makes three dimensional work, both sculpture and installation, from found objects, steel, clay, etc. She also enjoys printmaking, particularly serigraphy, drawing, and painting. This body of work for "Media Landslide" is a response to her realization that she is a news junkie. She has collected and archived images from various media sources that have resonated with her over the years and reflects back on them once their news "story" has faded into history. These images become the starting point for photo-based, abstracted paintings that reference their digital source with pixilated imagery. They are presented on panels matching the dimensions of a television screen. February 6 - March 3 
'A Walk in the Forest'Quilters Out of Bounds Quilters Out of Bounds is a group of artists who choose fabric as their medium. Living on the Sunshine Coast we are surrounded by trees. Studies have shown that walking among trees relieves stress and has a positive effect on health. The Japanese practice "Shinrinyoku," or Forest Bathing, for stress relief and relaxation. It is this sense of calmness and connection that we have tried to recreate, each artist in her own way. Some of the trees are embellished with the application of other media. Enjoy a relaxing "Walk in the Forest" with us. Marie Barry, Jill Sullivan, Martha Tatman, Leslie Bing, Sybil Seel, Ann Dickie, Hilary Henderson, Penny Connell, Laura Mann and Sharon Roye are the members whose work will be in the show. |
