SUMMARY:Martha Ritchie: Boreal Relief
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours Wed – Sunday 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM \nBoreal Relief is a collection of linocut prints based on images drawn from the forest that surrounds my home and studio in the Yukon. \nWhat started as prints on paper have evolved into three-dimensional paper sculptures and wearable prints on clothing. The sculptures and clothing items echo the images of boreal flora and fauna found in the wall art\, creating a sense of being present in the natural environment. \nThe work in this collection is both a celebration of the beauty and tranquility of the boreal forest as well as an expression of a desire to blend into nature. \nIn our world\, there has been an increasing disconnection from the natural environment\, but recently there is a growing desire to reconnect with nature for reflection\, relaxation and healing. The past two years have heightened this longing for a peaceful escape. Spending time in the Boreal forest is a gift that can provide this relief. \nMartha Ritchie \nMartha Jane Ritchie is an Artist and Printmaker who lives in Haines Junction\, Yukon Territory\, Canada with her husband and two sons. \nWhile attending Emily Carr College of Art\, Martha majored in printmaking and discovered Linocuts. She graduated with honours and continued working in the medium for the next 30 years. \nHer current work is drawn from the natural environment that surrounds her home in Haines Junction\, Yukon. \nwww.martharitchie.com

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Lineage
DESCRIPTION:As an artist\, my upbringing\, heritage and family history have long served as inspirations for my work. Over the years\, these founding motivations have compounded\, evolved\, mutated and combined to form new pathways\, leading to new ideas. “Lineage\,” not only traces my family history and how it has come to affect my work\, but it also pinpoints the origins of thoughts and motifs that have recurred in my work since childhood. It charts the development of an artist\, the creative process and the transformation of ideas from the first seeds of curiosity to tangible works of art. – Haley Bassett \nThe show comprises 50-plus works\, spanning several mediums including oil paintings\, charcoal\, watercolor\, ceramics\, natural materials\, photographs and ink drawings. It includes works from Bassett’s early childhood\, as well as found objects\, references\, books\, personal belongings\, studies and notebooks. \nThe composition of these varied objects in the space provide a peek behind the curtain\, as it were\, to the process of creativity and inspiration\, highlighting the unstructured and unsuspecting ways that ideas form and build off of each other. Lineage runs counter to the narrative that artists exist in vacuums of lone genius\, and that their work resides only in a product of a painting. It provides an open and candid access point to the beauty of process\, not only as it relates to ancestry\, but in the way we develop\, hold to and understand our narratives of personal truth.\nIsland Mountain Arts is incredibly grateful to be hosting Lineage through our Summer season\, beginning June 30th with a gallery opening from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM. The gallery will be open Wednesday through Sunday until August 22nd. Indoor capacities will be in accordance with the guidelines from the PHO.

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: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.
