SUMMARY:GPAG: Artist Talk with Janine Dunn
DESCRIPTION:Join us with exhibiting artist Janine Dunn on Saturday\, August 8th\, 2pm – 3pm. Free and all are welcome to attend! \nIllustrating symbolic dimensions of celebration\, abundance\, and scarcity\, Janine Dunn’s exhibition we mark the seasons in love features landscapes and human figures appearing in nebulous pastoral space\, with a felt sense of emotion and relationship between the characters. Janine Dunn is an artist and farmer living in Gibsons\, BC\, who shares stories of daily life on her farm and brings forward topics resonating within the current moment through her artistic practice. She draws on personal impressions of motherhood\, animal husbandry\, degradation and repair\, shared labour and hospitality\, and isolation and solitude. Working with industrial\, agricultural\, and domestic materials\, she collaborates with the weather and elements to develop her canvases. Dunn has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions on the Sunshine Coast and throughout Vancouver\, and was commissioned to create The Landing Eye\, a permanent public art installation in Gibsons Landing.
