GPAG: RICHARD CHARTER | Vertical Human Horizontal World (mixed media)
Musician and artist Richard Charter uses thread and ink to translate musical scores into visual artworks, creating symbolic representations of music notations. Charter’s works, without the production of any actual decibels of sound, allow the viewer to engage with and intuit their own narrative from musical scores, fulfilling an act that is entirely musical in nature whether the viewer is a trained or untrained musician or a hearing or non-hearing person. The abundance of straight layered lines and the contrast of the vertical and horizontal in Charter’s work provides reflection on both the significance of the line in musical notation and on our sense of self in relation to our landscapes.
Join us for the Opening Reception Saturday, Jan. 18th, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

Art Exhibition: Strength & Fragility
June 22 – August 18, 2024
Marney-Rose Edge
Strength & Fragility
Reception + Artist Talk: SATURDAY, June 22nd at 5pm
This exhibition explores the fragility found in nature specifically represented by the nests of birds, captured in charcoal and cold wax. Nests are built to house the most precious and fragile objects, their eggs. There is nothing more fragile than new life and time is short for the birth to happen and the survival of their young for the species to continue. Some nests are extreme in the lack of materials used. Possibly a few strands of grass or sticks that defy the very word of protection for the egg laid.
