PRAIRIE STRUCTURED
Artist Receptions:
April 28th from 6:30-8:00
April 29th from 10:30 - 2:00

In “Prairie Structured” we wanted to explore the Saskatchewan landscape and culture, specifically its patterns and buildings from our personal perspectives.  As we live and work the land, and build our homes and communities; the work, the land itself and the people around us are also shaping and developing us.  These works of art aim to showcase our individual interpretation of the structures that encompass our prairie experience, so you will find that the works range in mediums and subject matter.  As we look around, structure is everywhere.  Being defined as: “having been constructed or arranged to a plan; giving a pattern or organization to, or something of many parts that is put together.”  This then could be something that has been built, how people congregate, how persons dress, acquired words and phrases common to a certain place, the lay of the land, even a garden.  All four of us feel that we are to be stewards of what is within our lives, caring for what is around us.  This of course means that restraining, constraining and utilization are often just as important as nurturing.
