In this exhibition, John Holmgren and Nick Conbere present photographs, drawings and mixed-media prints that explore ways to visually interpret manipulations and transitions of
landforms, based on observations of the dams of the Columbia River in both Canada and the United States. A central theme is the struggle to comprehend the implications of
human constructions that drastically alter forces of nature. While much imagery comes from time spent on the river and direct observation, the artistic content also includes archival
information such as historical charts, photographs and ephemera. Our content references larger uses of water in relation to the dams, such as power generation, irrigation, salmon
migrations, and flood control, in relation to social and ecological impacts. The works present a re-imagining of constructed space as we use layering of various media to explore
implications of altering natural landscapes. We aim to have real-world information resonate aesthetically and metaphorically, creating a space for the imagination.
Free and open to the public.
