Her Land: Perspectives in
Eco-Art
Kelowna Art Gallery, Feb 8 to May 11, 2025
Group exhibition curated by Christine May
An excerpt from the installation Treelines - Here and there has been included in the group exhibition Her Land: Perspectives in Eco-Art. It celebrates the pivotal contributions of women in the environmental art movement. This exhibition highlights artists whose work merges environmental activism, social commentary, and innovative installation practices, using ephemeral and site-specific works that challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the land.
Spanning a variety of media and approaches, Her Land highlights contemporary voices that address urgent themes of ecological sustainability, Indigenous land rights, and the intersectionality of environmental issues. This exhibition not only reasserts the significance of these artists in the narrative of Eco-Art but also proposes visionary futures through thoughtful stewardship of the earth.
This specific version of Treelines - here and there exhibits crocheted trees on individual shelves for the first time. They are accompanied by two photos, from the series of ten, loaned from the Gallery 2 collection in Grand Forks, BC. There is also a video on a flatscreen monitor that highlights locations in Scotland and BC where the trees have been placed and recorded.
Artists in the exhibition include:
Annie Briard, Sherri Chaba, Dana Claxton, Csetkwe Fortier, Joice M. Hall, Gwen MacGregor, Monique Martin, Tara Nicholson, and Lyndal Osborne.
