THE SPACE BETWEEN HELD HANDS
CIRCA Art Actual, As part of the 10th National Biennial of Contemporary Sculpture, Trois-Rivières
An otherwise invisible space, two hands united represents a haven of refuge and a place of solace. Created in partnership with the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia, this work was generated using the hands of our newest Canadians who arrived in 2016 through the Syrian Resettlement Program. Working with these participants, the clasped hands of family members were cast from life, giving form to the negative space between their palms. Visible are the lines, ridges, and fingerprints unique to each participant. Yet these marks are familiar and recognizable by all. These hand casts give form to the distance, proximity, and connectivity between these families. This work is social in its process, encouraging engagement and community connection.| Runs from July 9th to August 27th 2022

SALVAGED SCRIPT
Tides Institute and Museum of Art, Eastport, Maine
Created using architectural salvage items from the collection of the Tides Institute & Museum of Art, Salvage Script examines the architectural memory of Eastport, Maine, and surrounding communities. This exhibition uses indexical and site-based working methods from both printmaking and sculpture. These printed and embossed artworks become recontextualized in the museum, a site which holds archival collections on paper — such as documents, and black and white photographs. This work seeks to preserve and build upon a tactile appreciation for the built heritage that encompasses us.
