With This Land is an exhibition featuring the work of Jessica Marion Barr, Lianne Suggitt and Heather Smith and curated by Christine Dewancker. Their work included painting, printmaking and sculpture.

“Our connection with the land that we inhabit is a relationship that has become seemingly disjointed and fragmented, putting humans at the top of a perceived natural hierarchy. We are in dire need of a shift in this perception. Reflected in this show are two attitudes towards the relationship with our environment, both acknowledging the need to re-establish our connection with the Earth and all who inhabit it. Jessica Marion Barr’s installation, Augury : Elegy, displays a solemn reverence for more than 12,000 birds that fell from the sky in early 2010. Her work reflects the kind of catastrophe that can occur when we forget that this world is shared, and this tragedy can be understood as a warning about our increasingly toxic impact on the world and the potentially dire consequences of maintaining the status quo. Accompanying Barr’s work are artists Heather Smith and Lianne Suggitt. Both Smith and Suggitt’s work acknowledges a respectful relationship with the land and illustrates the necessity of living in connection with our environment. Images of hunters and farm landscapes are supplemented with portraits of the wild life that share these spaces, and are presented here in an illustration of balance and understanding rather than misuse and disrespect.”

Reception: Tuesday June 28th, 7-10pm
