Larry Gaudet (text) and Mariëtte Roodenburg (images) - Safe Haven
Book launch of Larry Gaudet's new book: "Safe Haven, the Possibility of Sanctuary in an Unsafe World", published by Random House Canada and opening reception of photo exhibition: Saturday, July 7 2007, 4:00 - 7:00 pm. Exhibit runs through August 2, 2007.
In the experience of fog, which is often the experience of Kingsburg, a coastal village in Nova Scotia, it is not unusual to feel isolated, the only person alive, lost to everyone as clouds descend all around you, only the sound of the ocean, and the wind, reaching you. This photography exhibition by Kingsburg resident Mariëtte Roodenburg was inspired, in part, by the intriguing possibilities for - and endless variations of - beauty in her foggy surroundings. The text alongside her images - also inspired by fog - are passages adapted from Safe Haven, a new book by Larry Gaudet, who lives in Kingsburg during the summer. Both Mariëtte and Larry s project were undertaken at the same time, without any knowledge of what the other was doing until they were nearly done. It was then decided to do this show together. Both would like to believe that it s more than coincidence that fog found a way into their work - not just a scenic backdrop, but as a leading character with many secrets to share.
