Portrait with Protective Facemask – Petra Malá Miller

Portrait with Protective Facemask seeks to address the personal and communal experience of living near to Dukovany, Czech Republic, a geopolitically contentious nuclear site that operated concurrently with the catastrophe at Chernobyl in 1986. The village of my youth is located on the western fringe of Dukovany’s emergency evacuation zone, an amorphous region surrounding one of Europe’s largest active nuclear power generating stations.

Between the Sidewalk and the Horizon – Kellen Spencer

Between the Sidewalk and the Horizon is an ongoing series of artworks that examines residential housing construction, memory and the notion of home. What started as a short documentative series of photographs in the neighborhood of Mount Pleasant, Calgary, became a fascination with housing politics in Canada and the narratives each of us carry around these subjects. The series includes black and white photographs, pencil drawings and copperplate etchings.

Sky Palace – Craig Talbot

“Many years ago, in the year 2021, the sacred trees were emancipated from humankind. The people of the Sky Palace re-planted the trees to create a new healthy planet where the people of Earth could have a chance to redeem themselves for poisoning the sacred trees. Some of the trees were taken to the Temple of the Sacred Tree to perform an important duty: They were to be a reminder of the past and a promise to the future to never let the Earth suffer again. Over time, the Earth returned to it’s previous  state.  Thanks to the people of the Sky Palace, humans now live in a lush paradise free of war, famine and disease.” This is just a glimpse of the narrative I created as the foundation for the work in this exhibition. I hope to reach the viewer in a way that makes them think about life and their role in it. I also want to express my feelings about the environment.
