Performance by Celeste Snowber and Group Artist Talk: November 15, 2pm – 4pm Artists: De Jeffrey, Ellen Pelto, Celeste Snowber, Carolyn Sullivan, Sande Waters Edges is an exhibition featuring the work of five women artists — a painter, a photographer, a potter, a sculptor, and a poet/dancer, all inspired by the Tafoni formations found along the shorelines of many Gulf Islands in British Columbia. Each artist experienced an instinctual, intuitive response to the Tafoni’s intricate patterns — formations shaped by natural forces over millennia. At the same time, they recognized the environmental vulnerability of these formations. What is visible today at low tide may be lost tomorrow. The Tafoni, while appearing stable, are threatened by the escalating impacts of climate change: rising sea levels, intensifying storms, and the resulting erosion that endangers the coastline’s structural integrity. The artists see not only the beauty of these formations, but also their fragility. Edges seeks to convey this duality through a multidisciplinary exhibition that invites viewers to engage with the emotional, environmental, and aesthetic power of these natural spaces. The exhibition also includes opportunities for community engagement through an Artist Talk and a Poetry-Dance performance. CityScape Gallery | 335 Lonsdale Avenue Wed-Sat 11am – 5pm
