Ann Nicholson – The Chilcotin War: A colonial Legacy

With bold primary colours, strong highlights and deep blacks Nicholson tells the story of the Chilcotin War. Repeated patterns and symbols coupled with sharp lines portray an emotional history. Although bold and sharp, beauty is easily found in this body of work.

Upper Gallery

Casey Bennett – Industrial Town

With portraits of industry workers, photographer Casey Bennett has created a series titled Industry Town. This series, housed in the Upper Gallery at the Station House during the month of March, conjures up nostalgia for those, like Bennett, who have lived in small town Canada with an industry based economy. As a resident of Williams Lake, the artist has used local characters as inspiration for this show.
