Three Victoria artists present Writ Large - Contemporary Works on Paper
Three Victoria artists draw on their pasts as professional writers and editors to exhibit a collection of large-format works inspired by the emotional and intellectual energy of written language.
Georgina Montgomery, Louise Oborne, and MaryLou Wakefield use words and text as part of their visual language to amplify a compelling idea, question, or life experience personally meaningful to them.
In this series, the artists demonstrate their individual stylistic approaches to interpreting 'Writ Large' and invite viewers to find their own meaning and interpretation in the works.
Writ Large will be on at arc.hive artist run centre October 4 - 19 and open for viewing Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 4 pm.
An opening reception with the artists in attendance will be on Friday, October 3, from 7 - 9 pm.

The annual Fired Up! -Contemporary Works in Clay event is a highlight of the Canadian ceramics art scene. For its 42nd year, the group explores the concept of “Ebb and Flow”. In art making, as in life itself, there is a natural cycle of ebb and flow. Artists who work in clay inherently embrace the transformations and rearrangements of both their medium’s properties and their creative process. Clay fluctuates between liquid, semi-solid, dry and then vitreous, glassy states and potters work to coax desired effects along this ever-changing rhythm. They are patient; their work involves engagement in stages and evolutions, knowing when to take the lead, and when to let the materials do their work. The cycle of making is a dynamic, rhythmic choreography of preparing, building, guiding, combining, experimenting, while embracing the importance of timing. It involves a lifetime of developing an intuition for when and how to influence the materiality of the clay through its fluctuations and resulting metamorphosis. We as artists are in a constant state of flux and flow as is the clay we embrace as our partner in creating art. Becoming a ceramic artist is a life-long, non-linear process and our group is a working example of the ebb and flow of artistic development across time as we showcase the work of emerging artists to that of renowned masters in our field.

Again this year, a group of artists and creatives in the greater Fernwood area are opening their studios, homes and gardens to visitors. This year there are 20 locations in both Fernwood and Oaklands, featuring more than two dozen artists showing a wide variety of local art. There will be paintings, both abstract and realistic, ceramics, jewelry, garden art, printmaking, photography and collage. There’s even a roaming storyteller.
Since its beginning in 2008, this free, family-friendly event has welcomed guests who want to see and possibly purchase art of a variety of types. Visitors can enjoy strolling leafy streets, many with heritage homes and gardens, and exploring back yard studios and gardens full of art in one of the oldest parts of Victoria.
Brochures are being distributed to local businesses and stores around town with a detailed map of the venues and details about the participating artists.
Some artists also offer activities for families with children, and many of the locations are wheelchair accessible. Visitors can stroll the neighbourhood, enjoy food and beverages in Fernwood’s cafes and bistros, and view or purchase a wide variety of art at reasonable prices.
