This event began 2021-04-03 and repeats every 3 weeks on Sunday and Saturday until 2021-04-18
While the organic cycle makes its inevitable journey through the seasons from dark to light, we struggle to see beyond our masks. Light emerges to a new awakening. It throws out hope, optimism, humor and creativity on a bleak landscape.
Every winter brings an end to the organic cycle and the dark winter days seem endless. The angle of the light is low, throwing dense shadows. As Spring approaches there is no stopping the light as it permeates every aspect of our being. The landscape is illuminated by this pure new light.
The emergence of light amid a dark universe is biblical. We are observing this in a broken, corrupt world. This series of paintings display the triumph of light after a long, dark winter.
Artist Talk online: 3pm Saturday, April 10th

Krista Arias
The Earth is my Elder is centred around the film, poetry and installation-based work of artist, poet and earth alchemist Krista Arias. Her work explores the complexities of reconnecting, as a woman and mother, to ancestral homelands, while living as an uninvited guest in Indigenous territories in the USA and Canada. As a member of the Xicana diaspora, Arias' direct connection to Indigenous land, language and culture has been broken over generations of migration arising as necessity from colonial structures. She explains: "My greatest resource in cultural recovery and transmission as a mother, of finding belonging even in the liminal space of home-not-home without traditional Eldership, has been my own body-as-earth connection and awakening."
The exhibition is curated by Toby Lawrence and will be presented in person at the Open Space gallery, 510 Fort St. Gallery hours: 12-4pm, Wed-Sat. Admission is free / by donation. Open Space is not wheelchair accessible and is accessed by a flight of 23 stairs with two landings. There are two gender-inclusive washrooms. COVID-19 protocols are in place throughout the gallery; the use of masks is required unless exempt.
