💧 The word channelling suggests the capturing of nature’s power, for example by diverting or harnessing a waterway. Or, in this context, by framing it as an aesthetic event.

This exhibition sets up a conversation between two paintings depicting a waterfall in the foothills of the Alps and brought to Ellershouse, Nova Scotia around 1870, as well as the recent work of seven contemporary artists based in the Atlantic provinces who seek to articulate attitudes to nature that grapple with and offer alternatives to a difficult inheritance.

You can check out Channelling from now until January 3, 2027
