Susan Hobbs Gallery

Upcoming Exhibition: Opening May 22, running until June 28, 2025.

Passing Resemblance, featuring new work by Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky.

Weppler and Mahovsky’s Solaris, created during community workshops in Sackville, and based on the theme of water as the connection between all life on earth, is a multichannel video work in which a collaboratively made ambient soundscape forms the score for the documentation of sculptures of living things made by workshop participants. The sculptures, cast of ice, dissolve into and coalesce out of a single pool of dark water, suggesting the birth of a primordial language at the same time as they take on the shimmering character of memories of a vanished world. In an accompanying video, participants are shown creating the soundtrack, exposing the delicate dynamic of collective making.
