Horizon bound - double solo
AD Tinkham and Mariėtte Roodenburg
Horizon bound - double solo shows new work by AD Tinkham and Mariėtte Roodenburg. The work includes a continuation of a collaboration between the two artists over the last year. Mariėtte, who grew up in the Netherlands and relocated to Nova Scotia nine years ago, has never lived far from the sea, and the rythms of the tides and seasons are deeply embedded in all her work. AD has lived in coastal areas of the US and currently divides the year between Nova Scotia and Key West. He is a licensed captain and has sailed and painted all his life. His paintings are influenced by the weather and atmospheric conditions of coastal landscapes. Several of the paintings in this exhibit are the result of the two artists working together to create a hybrid in which both artists are visible.
The opening of the exhibition will take place on Saturday, May 19, from 3 - 6 pm.
Photographs and paintings.

Opening reception: Saturday, July 7, from 2 - 5 pm

Petroglyphs, the delicate rock drawings of our forebears, have been found all over the world. Not unlike modern day graffiti, they seem to convey an inherent drive in human beings to leave their mark upon the world, to tell a story, to mark a spot, commemorate a spiritual experience or simply to attempt physical immortality.
The natural elements whisper their own stories to us. They talk about strong winds and high tides, ice and sun, hot and cold, erosion and eruptions, the animal and plant world, faults and sediments, about long ago, and just now.
Just as our prehistoric ancestors, they leave their messages in stone - proof of their existence for those who come later.
Photographs printed on precoated, handmade Japanese papers.
