   Winging-It builds on Lisa Lipsett’s decades long fascination with silk moths.  In particular, the  mesmerizing eye-spotted wings and free fly ribbon-like sky drawing of Cecropia. Their beauty is timeless and wild. Their flight is spontaneous and a potent antidote to feeling pinned down. They lift the spirit.
    
   Lisa Lipsett’s painting style is expressive and nature-based. Fascinated with the within of things, she paints the energetic signature of life. Excavated layers of unconventionally mixed and matched materials such as oil, dry pigment, gold leaf, graphite and cold wax maximize creative possibilities. Textured wings dusted with warm pink, vibrant tangerine, electric purples and cream rise up in bursts and flourishes in her images. Themes include freedom, harmony, simple beauty and belonging.
    
   Though revered for their giant size and the beauty of their eye-spotted wings, silk moths are also challenged by habitat destruction, pesticides and over collecting. These night-flying pollinators are an important food source for many creatures, and can teach us much about the nature of self change. Lipsett’s images aim to spotlight their importance. They deserve our protection. See more images at www.lisalipsett.com

   Symbiosis

   
   

   April 01, 2023 05:00 PM      October 30, 2023 12:00 AM

   APRIL 1, 2023 - OCTOBER 29, 2023
   Curated by Jaimie Isaac, Chief Curator, and Mel Granley, Guest Curator
   Fascinations with the mushroom form and functions have shaped creative imaginations and scientific ideas for generations. Symbiosis gathers interdisciplinary contemporary artists located in British Columbia, across Canada and internationally who have produced work that explore forest ecologies and musings about mushrooms. The symbiotic relationships between fungia and boreal realms have co-dependent networks that are essential to the health and vitality of ecosystems. These interconnected relationships have inspired artists and researchers to delve into these micro and macro worlds to consider teachings from the land, medicines, and survival. Scientific and artistic curiosities of the natural world offer inquiries and explorations in Symbiosis.
