Sarah Kernohan. Splitting Distance 3. Pigment print on Hahnemüle agave paper, 69.2 x 61 cm (27.25 x 24 in), 2024. 

Splitting Distance opens at the Red Head Gallery this week.

The exhibition features a series of photographic collages that transmit icy surfaces, tumultuous waters, rocky shores, and portals. This flint originated from the shores of France or the United Kingdom and is now found in Glace Bay, whose namesake was coined by French settlers, who named the location “Baie de Glace” (Bay of Ice). The chalky surface of the flint gives way to semi-translucent surfaces with reflective flecks and shards, similar to the textures and patterns found in ice and light bouncing off of water. 

I will be at the gallery on Saturdays, October 19 and 26, from 12 to 5 PM, and there will be a closing reception on Friday, November 1, from 5 to 8 PM. 

I’m thrilled to collaborate with the CARBON Collective, who will host an informal reading and conversation about ethical ecological practices on Saturday, November 2, at 10:30 AM. The talk will be held in person and online. Learn more and register here: https://shorturl.at/QvSxf

The works in this exhibition are based on memories of nature, which I approach with a sense of wonder, reverence, awe and mystery. My drawings and collages evoke certain landscapes and geological processes, exploring how materials settle into place over time. They draw inspiration from my observations of rocks, erosion, and the large- and small-scale changes that waves create along various shorelines.

Executed in graphite, the drawings in Dissipate record the lift, drag and back-and-forth movement of sediment as waves carry it, never deposited in the same position twice. I record small actions and traces along with larger sweeping marks.

My collages explore how rocks can be reconstructed from the fragments that remain after the processes of erosion and collapse have taken place. Using pieces of photographs of rocks that I was unable to bring home from Nova Scotia, I have built new rock surfaces, imagining what they may look like before they break down or how they may appear different after waves wear them down.

Opening reception: Thursday March 16 from 6 - 9 PM.
