Community: Hudson Bay Allied Arts Council October 1, 2013 to October 23, 2013 Location: Brooks Hall Organized and Toured by the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC) Greetings from the Land of Living Skies! is a group exhibition comprised of four Saskatchewan artists: Sandra Knoss, Cathy Terepocki, Tina Hudson & Donn Morton. The work in this exhibition presents interpretations of Saskatchewan imagery and identity. Sandra Knoss’ paintings transform the Saskatchewan landscape in an energetic and colorful manner. The artist states “Often the vibrancy of the prairies is washed out by its vastness. The rich colours I use in my paintings are there in the grasses, trees, flowers, sky and earth.” The ceramic work of Cathy Terepocki is informed by the forgotten and abandoned small towns of Saskatchewan. The artist has created cups, plates and other small souvenir like objects which feature witty phrases and imagery gleaned from the vacant town of Bents, SK. Tina Hudson and Donn Morton both hail from the community of Weyburn, SK. Hudson uses photography to examine the deserted buildings that dot the Saskatchewan landscape. Her work is rich with colour and detail and often presents a unique eye for composition. Morton creates small copper objects that mimic their larger counterparts so often found in the Saskatchewan experience. Old trucks, tractors, and agricultural equipment are scaled down to a toy-like size but retain their intricacy under Morton’s devoted hand. This exhibition features both two and three-dimensional work.
