Through collage and mixed media, the exhibition explores how we navigate a world of fragments, mapping connections among landscape, urban experience, memory, and imagination. Included are collaborative works created with Edward Peck, extending the exhibition’s interest in dialogue, shared process, and the ways artists influence one another. Meet and Greet @metchosin_artpod, Saturday 24 July (1 – 3); exhibition continues through 10 August (Fri-Sat-Sun/ 11 am – 4 pm). Landscape Collage Workshop (09 August); see information @metchosinartpod.ca

EKLEKTICA Artist Book Mail Club Launch!
It is my pleasure to invite the ECU community to sign up. I welcome everyone interested to visit https://www.bassanisoftbindings.com/ for more information!
In my time at Emily Carr I have discovered my love for the artist book form through my various visual arts courses. I learned the art of collage, book making, painting, illustration, printmaking and even ceramics. I now get to channel all this as well as the skills I have acquired through my work as a professional bookbinder into this monthly artist book club.
EKLEKTICA is an expansive experimental and succulent series of artist books based on changing academically researched topics. One month may be focused on mediaeval menswear, another food of the future, and the next could be the art of body hair. Who knows? The world is too vast and rich in its splendor and curiosities to not focus on the obscure and weird. My aim is to teach an interesting fact of life each month in a tactile and illustrative way through the lens of this odd duck.
