American-born Geoffery Hendricks has been living on Cape Breton Island since the 1950s. This exhibition presents the artworks he has created, relative to this particular landscape, from the 1960s through to 2003. These works are linked to the exploration of the sky as an integral part of his experience of the land. Using the sky as an entry point, all the works in the exhibition displace conventional dichotomies and reinforce the inegration and unity of terms – present/past, rural/urban, self/other, nature/culture, history/space, art/life. They also emphasize the importance of the self within the conceptual and transcendent nature of art.
