Event in Room: Main Gallery

Photographic, sculptural, and participatory works connected by an interest in landscape, movement, memory, and the traces of human activity.

As friends, colleagues, and occasional collaborators, the two artists share longstanding creative affinities shaped through years of dialogue and independent practice. Though produced separately, the works reflect related approaches to observation, experimentation, and storytelling.

Together, the exhibition considers how places are shaped through action, memory, and repeated encounters over time.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Katherine Knight’s photographs are rooted in the landscapes surrounding her home in Caribou Harbour, Nova Scotia. Working through staged self-portraiture, Knight places figures within environments marked by weather, industry, ecological change, and history. A figure in white studies winter pack ice on the horizon. Another lies wrapped in surplus winter gear at the edge of a damaged forest. Elsewhere, the artist appears bird-like in a tidal salt marsh. Across the series, land and sea become spaces where imagination and lived experience intersect.
Knight’s practice has been shaped by formative experiences at NSCAD and by documentary approaches to photography and filmmaking. Her work explores landscape alongside broader questions of resilience, mortality, creativity, and adaptation.

Barbara Lounder presents three works originally created for walking art events: “Guided Walking”, “Writing Walking Sticks”, and “Carrier”. This marks the first time these projects have been exhibited in a gallery setting.
Combining sculptural objects, documentary photographs, costumes, and participatory elements, the works examine walking as both physical movement and creative methodology.

Lounder’s installations invite viewers to consider attention, language, cooperation, and bodily experience. Walking sticks fitted with alphabet stamps produce temporary texts through movement, while “Guided Walking” pairs green walking sticks with blue eye covers to create nonvisual sensory experiences grounded in trust and environmental awareness.
