Xchanges Gallery, Victoria B.C. - October 4-21, 2018

The Promise of Something Grand is a title that has stuck with me since I’ve seen this show. In this work, Aileen Penner created beautiful cyanotypes that explores her and her parent’s lives in Church Falls, Labrador, a remote industrial mega project. Her father, an Engineer, died during a work accident which the “company” refused to pay. Her mother fought an extraordinary battle against the company and eventually won. The show also brought light on the parallels of environmental resource destruction and the affect on lives in other countries.
