2025 re:source - making materials matter
duo exhibition with Heather Stewart
VISAC Gallery, Trail, BC
January 23 - March 6
re:source is an exhibition creative re-imagining, the act of finding and using material over and over again or for a purpose not originally intended. We often think of “resources” as the things we have, but re-sourcing in this context implies the active process of discovery and reinvention.
The works on display demonstrate the transformation that is possible when limitations meet possibility. By embracing unconventional materials and finding solutions in unexpected places, Heather and Heather challenge traditional notions of artistic production and offer a powerful model for sustainable practices.
Audiences are invited to consider the intersections between art, sustainability, and resourcefulness. By witnessing what is possible via creative reuse, audiences may discover a deeper appreciation of the materials that surround us, rethink their relationship with the planet's finite resources and to challenge traditional notions of what makes art.
