Arts Council Spring Show 2022, Mahon Hall, SALT SPRING ISLAND

February 2, 2023February 25, 2023

THE NATURE OF MEMORY

This was a group show. My contribution was about the building of Mahon Hall and it’s relationship to Salt Spring Island over the years, which has latterly been used as an Arts centre for the island. I built five ‘islands,’ two of them showing indigenous people — the island’s first inhabitants. The other ‘islands’ show the settlers from about 1850 until the 1920’s, and an early version of Mahon Hall and then the later one built in the early 20th century. I collaborated with Michael, my husband, who built two of the two islands.
