Library Gallery Exhibition
March 30 - April 20
Opening: March 30, 12-2pm
The magic of Nova Scotia’s back roads has always spoken to me, and the decaying built heritage that can be found there holds a beauty that is quickly disappearing into nature. Working with a variety of recycled objects, I try to capture the essence of these forgotten spaces, and preserve their memory in miniature. The open doors, missing walls and vacant windows of these sculptures call to you to think about the frailty of our existence, and the legacies we leave behind.
Working with a variety of recycled objects, I capture the essence of these lost spaces and preserve their memory in miniature. My Broken Windows exhibit highlights my many abandoned Nova Scotian homes, with detailed miniature sculptures, and forced perspective images of the same contrasted with photos of their real-world inspiration.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
My background is varied, I have worked in print publishing, the movies, and I am currently at The Discovery Centre designing and building new exhibits. My family has always enjoyed taking the scenic routes, discovering amazing places and history throughout Nova Scotia. Our long drives, and my fascination with old, abandoned buildings led me to begin creating these sculptures, giving these forgotten places another chance to be remembered.
