Again and Again and Again - Sarah Kernohan, Gareth Lichty, and Mark Prier

The Assembly Gallery, Hamilton ON

January 6 - 29, 2023

Again and again and again. Layers stack and gather. A cache accretes. Over and over. Everything in series.

Sarah Kernohan builds collages using photographic fragments of rocks she has gathered over time. Like an archaeologist rebuilding artifacts from scrim found on a dig, she assembles and re-configures, making new, hypothetical rock formations.

Gareth Lichty translates his large-scale installations into woodcut prints on paper. Meticulously cutting plates on a table saw, the narrow vertical lines and bold colours create optical distortion.

Mark Prier coaxes coolers, ropes, and tennis balls into unsettling but mundane forms. Tennis balls in uncertain stacks refuse to be just yellow or green. Ropes bore, puncture, and perforate. Coolers collect but spill forth.
