This new body of work of large-scale drawings and installations of smaller paintings and embroidered works expands on Alison Norlen’s longtime interest in cultural spectacles, idyllic environments and diminished architectures. Inspired by and initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, the works in Odyssey presents Norlen’s explorations of the domestic settings of her own home and the collections of objects and memorabilia that one comes to identify with through the accumulated memories of journeys taken and a life lived.
Heather Cline: Viewfinder
September 11 – November 29, 2026
Opening Reception: September 11, 2026
Doors open at 6:30 pm / talk at 7:00 pm
Viewfinder is a collaborative project between Heather Cline and the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Cline created artwork inspired by viewing the landscape through a conservation lens, walking the land with staff and stakeholders of the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
Cline has created a multi-media exhibition incorporating paintings, audio works and video that offer an immersive experience of the land. The initial fieldwork for Viewfinder consisted of a series of one-on-one encounters with each project participant in their environment. The goal was to have meaningful exchanges on the land that impacted Cline’s renderings of the landscape. Cline documented these walks through audio recordings, video recordings, and an aerial survey of the sites from viewpoint of a Cessna Skyhawk airplane. Key encounters on the ground were marked through the collection of GPS points that were used to create the flight plans over each location. This has translated into a series of paintings of the landscape that capture some of the shared experience on the land with the project’s key participants. The exhibition also features video documentation of participants walking through the different project sites and an archive of short explanatory videos featuring the activities of project participants on the land.
