Heather M. Cline: Skyhawk
March 12 - April 21
The GALLERY / art placement inc., in Saskatoon.

Reception: Saturday, March 12, 2-4 PM

An aerial view of much of the Canadian prairies is a patchwork grid, a geometric system of organization and division imposed upon the land. There is a long tradition on the prairies of documenting the land from the air. Small planes like the Cessna Skyhawk have been used since the 1950s to capture aerial views of countless homesteads, colourized and sold back to the farmers as an opportunity to own and display a portrait of home. Heather Cline’s Skyhawk series continues from this tradition, zooming out to take a wider view of the prairie landscape as seen from above. Highlighting the aesthetic interplay of the grid with the organic contours of the land, her works consider themes around land use, home, settlement, and what it means to inhabit the land.
