Bough Laden with Raspberry
By Shayne Dark
Located in Montreal, Quebec
In 1914, a group of intrepid young men set forth into the northern wilderness with the ambition to document the uncharted territory of the Canadian collective unconscious. Their medium was that of sketchbooks and paint, and with these they rendered a vast and previously unknowable landscape into a tangible national identity. One could call their distinct style picturesque, as it cohered to many of the attributes prescribed by 18th century thinker William Gilpen – for capturing nature so as to make it both palatable and empowering for the viewer. During the romantic period in Europe, certain visual tropes emphasized the beauty of the natural landscape despite the rapid advancements of industrialism. As such, the picturesque, when applied properly, enabled the viewer to apprehend and revel in the vastness of change and opportunity with which they were presently confronted.
It is at a similar juncture that we contemplate the works of contemporary sculptor and installation artist Shayne Dark, who’s large scale arborescent schemes present a striking encapsulation of both the magnitude as well as the limits of our natural resources. In an age where the re-assessment of our modes of production and consumption has become a main constituent of our identity, his work serves as a potent reminder of this position’s precarity. One piece resembling a cluster of branches, for example, balances in a tenuous fashion, relying on the equal distribution of weight among all its parts to stay upright. In another work, the boughs extend upwards from a base so small it threatens to tip over. As opposed to the romantic and idealized conceptions of a nature as realized in the compositions of the Group of Seven, Dark, by working in the industrial material of hot forged steel, acknowledges the imprint of the human hand on our surroundings.

Fanfare - smooth, polished, abstract, contemporary, mahogany carved sculpture
By David Chamberlain
Located in Bloomfield, ON
The elegant, lyrical curves of this abstract sculpture by David Chamberlain are hand-carved from one continuous loop of mahogany wood. The American artist is a sculptor, painter, jazz musician, a Capella singer, composer, writer and educator—a ‘renaissance man’ whose artwork is often inspired by music. Chamberlain works with the visible grain and polishes the wood to a soft lustre to accentuate its dynamic form.
Each sculpture is designed to rotate on a pedestal so that with every turn another view of the form is revealed.
This is the last of a suite of eight sculptures; each anthropomorphic form designed to be reminiscent of the traditional busts...

Nurturing Mother (walnut wood bird abstract art zen sculpture pedestal minimal)
By Eric Tardif
Located in Quebec, Quebec
This steam-bent wooden sculpture is made of black walnut with a red sandstone base. The wood grain and the color are uniqueness of this sculpture. The wood has magnificent stripe patterns of paler and darker colors. The title, Toward the Sky, could have different meanings to humans during this hard period. One of them is to stay positive and keep hope.
In some cultures, a heron symbolizes contemplation, vigilance, divine wisdom, and inner quietness. As a Chinese symbol, a heron represents strength, purity, patience and long life. In Africa, herons were thought to communicate with the Gods. The elegance and purity of the lines are reminiscent of Native American art from Western Canada.The elegance and purity of the lines are reminiscent of Native American art from Western Canada including that of Benjamin Chee...

My Ears Are Numb
By Nicholas Galanin
Located in Montreal, Quebec
This work is based on the murder of John T. Williams by Seattle police officer Ian Birk in 2010. John T. Williams was an Indigenous artist, carrying his carving knife and a totem across a Seattle street; because he was deaf, he was unable to hear Ian Birk, who shot and killed him without hesitation. Statistically Native Americans are at highest risk of being killed by police officers. The precedent for this behavior has been well established throughout the history of the United States in which military, cavalry, and settlers were legally protected and often rewarded for murdering Indigenous men, women and children. In My Ears are Numb, Galanin stretches the US flag to create a drum, the stick that accompanies it a police baton...

By Colleen Wolstenholme
Located in Montreal, Quebec
Colleen Wolstensholme can be said to have a certain fascination with repetition, the “female condition” and with the bio-medical. Her work, primarily three dimensional – ranges from large-scale sculpture to jewelry. Drawing on previous work, which commented on the way in which women are portrayed in popular culture and the prevalence of mood altering medication, Wolstensholme’s, new show is speaking about choice and our ability to choose how to present ourselves publicly and the ways in which this ultimately forces multiple readings.
Wolstenholme received a Bachelor of Fine Art in 1986 from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax and a Master of Fine Art in 1992 from the State University of New York, The College at New Paltz. Her pharmaceutically inspired sculptures and jewellery gained notoriety internationally and her work has been widely featured in magazines and journals, namely Harper's, People, Newsweek, C Magazine, and the London Sunday Times, as well as being reviewed in numerous art magazines and journals.
Wolstenholme's one person exhibitions include: AH, Saw Gallery, Ottawa, ON, 2002; Pharmacopoeia, Hamilton Artist's Inc., Hamilton ON, 1999; Pills, grunt gallery, Vancouver, BC, 1998; Patience, Anna Leonowens Gallery, Halifax, NS, 1996; The Persistence of Denial, College Art Gallery, The College at New Paltz, New York, NY, 1992. Her group exhibitions include: Container, Real Art Ways, Hartford, Conn., 2003/4; Gill/Wolstenholme, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, NS, 2002; Surface Tourist, 15 Cecil Park, Crouch End, London UK, 2002; Art and Music Memorabelia, Horse Hospital Gallery, London UK, 2001; The Time Machine, Sculpture in the 20th Century...
