Jordan Berry presents a collection of beautiful, large-scale cityscapes taken in Saskatoon.
Mostly devoid of people, they track those quiet moments – by bridges, parks and laneways
that show built environments as sites of contemplation and serenity.
Katlynn Balderstone’s monotype prints are delightful for their combination of child-like
simplicity, vigorous mark-making and strong iconography. In fact they have deep psychic
origins in the “secret ideas and insecurities that [she] could never share.”
Interested in the abstract dimensions of nature and the representational possibilities of
photography, Brett Smith asks a simple question: “what is natural?” In this series of
photographs, the artist captures the infinitely complex and unpredictable traces of one liquid
as it mixes with another, before surrendering to the inevitable forces of entropy.
Reception: Friday, March 28, 7 ! 11pm
