   On her daily walks, Suzanne collects visual information about the ordinary landscapes of her everyday journeys. These “unremarkable” urban landscapes often include objects like power boxes, lamp posts and bike racks. “I am interested in how these constructed objects interact with the natural,” she says. “It appears to be an uneasy relationship.”
   The Unremarkable Landscape, July 9 - Aug 27, 2023
   Slide Room Gallery, Vancouver Island School of Art.
   Artist’s Talk, Sunday July 9 @ 1:30
   Hours: Mon to Fri 9:00 - 5:00
