Summer exhibition in full bloom at the Leyton Gallery

July 2024

What lies at the Water’s Edge? According to this group exhibition, all manner of gorgeous, evocative things, including, above, Tia Connolly‘s I’ll Go There Tonight in My Dreams (watercolour on mylar), below, John MacCallum‘s Muskrat Dreams (acrylic on canvas).

In Tilting I (acrylic on panel), we see a new medium from Malin Enstrôm.

This is just a sampling, take a moment to have a look: Water’s Edge continues throughout the summer. And don’t forget to check out our other downtown galleries, which all have great shows up and on the calendar: Red Ochre, Christina Parker, and Emma Butler.

NORTHERN DETACHMENT

BY Clancy Margaret

The wind was still, but the cold was biting all the same. Stepping outside made her sinuses burn and her eyes water. She brushed the snow off the seat of her snowmobile—a mid-nineties Ski-Doo, always giving her trouble. She surveyed the town as she waited for the engine to warm up. It’s squat vinyl sided homes glowed amidst the dim winter daytime. Snowmobile tracks crisscrossed on the road but not a person was in sight. She checked her handheld GPS. The coordinates lined up with somewhere northwest, about a forty-five minute ride under the blanket of dark. There were no stars today. It was always cloudy.
