Fibre and Fotos, by Emily Fraser
Gallery Vertigo 2901 - 30 Avenue, Vernon, British Columbia, CanadaGallery Vertigo is proud to introduce M. Emily Fraser as their featured member for the month of February.
Emily has been a photographer all her life and encouraged to revel and wonder at all that can be found in the natural world. Colour, light, lines, shapes and all the interactions in nature fuel her wonder and delight. She loves capturing that wonder with her camera and ‘building’ art with fabric, fibre, paper, clay on their own or together. The patterns and texture found in our surroundings encourage simply “ messing about” with recycled and found fibre of all kinds. It has proven to be the perfect vehicle to create art that can suggest or representative scenes or simply inspire abstract creations.
Emily Fraser's work will be showing in Gallery Vertigo's Judith Jurica Gallery.
The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 4:00pm.

Deconstructing the Doctrine of Discovery
The second session in the Learn + Connect series, invites participants back to a discussion about the Doctrine of Discovery to explore themes around land theft, genocide and personal responsibility towards reconciliation.
The Doctrine of Discovery was a late-medieval philosophy that was used to justify imperialist ventures and legitimize the colonization of Indigenous peoples in various regions around the world. The centuries old document informed Canada’s earliest European explorers, and continues to profoundly – and negatively – impact Indigenous people today.

The Art of Black and White
Vernon Community Arts Centre 2704A Highway 6, Vernon, British Columbia, CanadaPhotographer Dominic Rouse once said, “Colour is everything, black and white is more.”
Find out what happens when artists cast aside their colour palettes. The Vernon Community Arts Centre invited 2D and 3D artists to express their creative visions focusing on the visual power of black and white. Creating in black and white encourages the artist to concentrate on composition, value, lighting, and form, and to focus on the image or subject. It can also be a powerful way to express emotion or draw importance through symbolism.
The exhibit runs from February 4th to the 28th, and is open 6 days a week. Mon-Thurs 9-9, Fri-Sat, 9-5.
Admission Free. Donations Welcome.
