SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening & Artist Talk with Sarah Zimmerman
DESCRIPTION:Island Mountain Arts is excited to announce an exhibition launch on Friday July 19th\, 2019 at 7 pm featuring the work of Sarah Zimmerman (affectionately known by many as Saz)\, titled “The Fish Project”. \nThe exhibition will remain on view through Sunday\, August 25th\, 2019. \nSarah has been painting her entire life. Born and raised in Edmonton\, Alberta\, the urban arena has long played an important role in her life. Since moving to Terrace\, BC in 2000\, the incredible bounty of the Northwest has become a constant source of inspiration for her. From rooster portraits to vibrant snails\, her pieces are fun\, vibrant acrylic messes that are also a nod to her surroundings. Her work is a whimsical exploration of her environment and sense of place. \n“For me creating art is a way of expressing myself\, exploring my surroundings and combining complex ideas in a visual medium\,” Sarah says. “Art brings people and ideas together in a way that no other exercise can.” \nShe drew inspiration for this exhibition from the salmon and oolichan and their importance to the people of Northwestern BC\, exploring the intersection of fish\, culture and art. Sarah began the project in the Spring of 2017. Creating each piece was a multi-faceted process that involved sourcing or catching the fish\, cleaning it\, preparing it for printing\, painting it and then pressing the prints onto thin paper. Then the prints were transferred to the wood panels using a gel transfer technique. Each painting on its own is a reflection of a small\, but critical piece of the ecosystem. \nThe fish project includes a series of multimedia pieces that incorporate the old Japanese art of fish printing with a more modern gel transfer technique to transfer the prints of regionally harvest oolichan and salmon to wooden canvases. \nThe show also speaks to the relationship of fish to people\, both settler and Indigenous. Sarah has collaborated on a multimedia installation piece which is a nod to the oolichan fishery and how regional Indigenous people traditionally processed this incredible fish. In collaboration with Gitxsan/Nisga’a cedar weaver\, Jaimie Davis\, this piece is a reflection of the one-time abundance of this Indigenous fishery and the fragility of its stocks today. \nSarah has also collaborated with Sto:lo artist Amanda Hugon on a series of oolichan block prints that speak to the social\, ceremonial\, food and healing qualities of oolichan in a series of pieces called liquid gold. \nSarah is excited to share this project with folks visiting the IMA Gallery and ArtsWells festivalgoers. She says\, “Wells is one of those amazingly unique places that keeps drawing me back year after year\, be it for art\, learning\, escape or music. Wells holds a special place in my heart and has been an integral part of my artistic journey\, and because of that I am super excited to be showing the fish project at the Wells Gallery. It’s exciting for me to share this project not only with the wonderful people of Wells but those incredible creative souls that make their way to Wells each summer\, especially during ArtsWells.”

SUMMARY:Reading with Giovanna Riccio
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the IMA Gallery for a Reading with Toronto author Giovanna Riccio. \nGiovanna Riccio will be reading from her newly published book\, Plastic’s Republic\, an adventurous poem sequence centering on Barbie\, the complex cultural icon and feminist bête-noir powered by plasticity. A graduate in philosophy from the University of Toronto\, she is the author of the chapbook Vittorio (Lyricalmyrical\, 2010) and Strong Bread (Quattro Books\, 2011) which was shortlisted for The Relit Award and selected for the Canadian Poetry syllabus at the University of Toronto. Her poems and other writings have appeared in numerous anthologies\, the most recent being Heartwood: For the Love of Trees (League of Canadian Poets\, 2018) and A Filo Doppio\, (Donzelli editore\, Rome\, 2017) which includes Italian translations of her work. \nGiovanna Riccio was born in a picturesque village in Calabria\, Italy\, and immigrated to Canada with her mother\, Vittoria\, and two siblings when she was six years old. They were part of the post-war transatlantic migration undertaken to seek otherwise non-existent opportunity for their children. Giovanna was renamed “Joan” by Toronto’s educational system\, grew up in an Anglo-Saxon neighbourhood and attended schools where her ethnicity and class underscored difference\, but where she also shared the spotlight of academic and creative success. Her earliest associations with poetry\, artful language\, storytelling\, and audience were gifts from her father\, Vito\, who embodied the power and prestige a golden tongue can bestow on a person. An artist manqué inspired by innate intelligence and curiosity\, he opted to be an autodidact\, basement sculptor\, and headstrong poet. \nPLASTIC’S REPUBLIC \nIn 2019\, Barbara Millicent Roberts\, aka\, Barbie turns 60. Plastic’s Republic offers an adventurous poem sequence centering on this complex cultural icon and feminist bête-noir powered by plasticity. Aside from thematically animating the ghost of Plato\, the poems give voice to the major players in Barbie’s development and mammoth success\, including Ruth Handler who co-founded Mattel with her husband; their daughter Barbara—the doll’s inspiration and namesake—and Barbie\, herself.

SUMMARY:Writing Workshop with George Elliott Clarke
DESCRIPTION:George Elliott Clarke will lead writers in exercises to improve creativity and editing skills.  He will also ask volunteers to read back to the workshop their exercises and/or works-in-progress\, while feeling free to maintain privacy re: any raw work that seems too personal.

SUMMARY:Expressive Watercolour Workshop with Simone Buck
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to invite you to join Simone Buck for this two-day workshop\, which delves into creative expression through abstract watercolours. And the best part\, all levels are welcome! \n“Everybody has a creative side\, it is the inner critic and our own judgement and expectation that is keeping us from connecting to our inherent creative source. My goal is to bring this inner critic into consciousness\, acknowledge it but also letting go of it\, so that the participants can loosen up and tap into their true creative potential” said Simone Buck. \nBiography\nBorn in 1971 in Germany\, Simone holds a degree in Graphic/Communication Design from the University of Applied Sciences\, Mannheim\, and has worked as a graphic designer in the scientific publishing industry for many years. \nSimone first developed her love of painting when\, as a child moving between Germany and West Africa\, she discovered she could create her own worlds as the outside world changed.\nSimone frequently and comfortably switches between very luminescent\, light and dynamic modes of painting and an achromatic style accompanied by a reduced use of shapes. Her paintings are a blend of spontaneous brushwork paired with consciously applied painterly techniques.\nLiving a life close to the wilderness\, away from cities built up areas\, her art naturally tends to revolve around organic structures and energy states in nature. Most of the work is left untitled as she feels it important that the viewer approach her work with no added influence\, so that he/she may freely arrive at his/her own interpretations. \nThe workshop runs from 9am – 3:30pm with a break for lunch.

SUMMARY:Block Printing on Fabric with Mo Hamilton
DESCRIPTION:Block Printing on Fabric and Surface Design with Mo Hamilton!\nJoin Mo Hamilton Artist for this fun two-day winter workshop\, from\nSaturday\, Jan 26th to Sunday\, Jan 27th\, 2019\, 10am – 4pm each day. \nIn this workshop\, Mo will guide students through the process of block printing on fabric. You will learn about creating designs for fabrics\, carving blocks and the process of printing simple repeat patterns. We will explore a variety of techniques from ombre rolls\, two-coloured printing and jigsaw prints. We will cover what makes good design as it applies to fabric\, colour and texture. You will learn how to do offset printing and how to register your stamps so your work has a professional fabric look. \n“As an artist\, I obtain my inspiration from the external world around me\, but reveal in my paintings the internal world of my imagination. By reducing my images to their essential elements\, I can bring simplicity\, myth\, and the primal\, to my explorations of limits and boundaries with the intent of moving beyond them. Recently\, I have worked on a series of paintings that explore the soul’s journey. I have followed my vision to places I had not intended to go allowing my intuition to guide me. I have found power in words and incorporated them in my work; I have used collage and montage to go places I had not been before. I use life story as the dark\, rich compost to generate new creation and have in my most recent paintings worked more intuitively than ever before.” \nEarly Bird Price\n$230 + $30 material fee + GST\n(early bird deposit fee $57.50) \nRegular Price\n$255 + $30 material fee + GST

SUMMARY:'The 100 Houses Project: Reflections on Our Times' Exhibition Opening for Mo Hamilton Artist
DESCRIPTION:The image of home is a powerful\, archetypal symbol for finding our truest self\, or soul. We all have this profound longing to find home\, a place of deep belonging. To come home is to find a place where you can truly be yourself and to be home is to have a refuge from all the outward expectations and be in a place where you can listen to your own heart. When we are in touch with our inner selves home can be wherever we are at that time. \nThe 100 Houses Project that I am working on is a long-term project that began with the question “What is home?”. The idea for this project started with a profound dream I had when my family and I were leaving a home that we had lived in for ten years. This was a place where I had given birth to both of my children and where my husband and I grew from being a couple to becoming a family. Unfortunately\, it wasn’t economically viable for us to stay so we chose to leave because my husband got a steady job up north. I had packed all of our belongings into a moving van and we had our last sleep in our empty house. That night I had a dream that I was living in a house on a bridge. I thought the dream was such a profound visual metaphor for what I was experiencing in that moment because I was no longer staying in this home but I wasn’t at my new place either. I was in that in-between place. This got me thinking of the home as symbol for the soul and how the only steadiness we have is our inner strength. In The 100 Houses Project I use the symbol of the house as a way of expressing the steadiness of our inner homes or selves as we head out on our life’s journey. \nArtist Statement\nAs an artist\, I obtain my inspiration from the external world around me\, but reveal in my paintings the internal world of my imagination. By reducing my images to their essential elements\, I can bring simplicity\, myth\, and the primal\, to my explorations of limits and boundaries with the intent of moving beyond them.
