“Looking Forward / Looking Back”
DAWN MACNUTT and NANCY STEVENS
Opening Reception on Wednesday, November 4th, 4-6pm
These two artists, both long-time friends, fellow graduates of Mount Allison University and distinguished members of the Nova Scotia arts community, come together each with their own multi-faceted look at memory.
Sculptor Dawn MacNutt’s trademark figures in natural fibres and metal are newly infused with color, inspired by the discovery that her recent move to Pictou County was an “accidental” return to the very homestead established by her forefathers, generations ago. Her studio is now located in the farmhouse built by her great great great grandfather and this new work reflects on these unexpected, energizing threads of continuum. Visit: www.dawnmacnutt.com
Painter Nancy Stevens, known for her integration of abstract spatial narratives with realism, takes up a new direction with multi-layered collage composed of materials collected from different periods and facets of her life, a recycling of experience and connection reconfigured with reflection and new painting. The collage works are accompanied by four representational drawings in graphite and coloured pencil of ”memory places”. Visit: www.enancystevens.ca
