Unseen Landscapes
October 4 to 20, 2024
Xchanges presents our second show of the 2024 to 2025 season with Unseen Landscapes, opening on Friday, October 4, 2024 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Unseen Landscapes grew out of an ongoing inquiry and interest in the landscapes that we constantly move through but don’t always see. The lamp-posts, mailboxes, and street signs that share space with trees, lawns, and bushes seem to have an uneasy relationship. It is a place that can be uninviting rather than ideal. It exudes the banal yet foreboding quality of a film-noir, where the focus on the everyday can expose other dimensions that familiarity can sometimes mask. Exploring the neighbourhoods of Victoria through a series of drawings on charcoal, chalk, and pastel, Suzanne Hamilton seeks to create a visual relationship that merges the seemingly ordinary with the complex and profound. As the cityscape constantly changes, a portrait of these places emerges that is both ordinary and complex; familiar and unknown.
Join us for an opening reception on October 4, and don’t miss the artist’s talk on Sunday October 13th, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.
