Wander + Wonder: A Practice of Observing and Dreaming💭🔍✂️
Join artist-in-residence Brenda Reid in a walk and collage workshop, reimagining spaces in downtown St. John’s, on June 5th from 6-8 pm!

This workshop will start at 72 Harbour Drive. We’ll start with a group walk, considering the built environment around us. Big sites or small spaces, take photos of things that interest you! Then, back at the studio, we’ll consider these everyday spaces. What potential do they hold? We’ll imagine, dream and construct new images of our surroundings through collage. Come wander + wonder with us!

Registration is required. Click the link in out bio!✨✨

Eastern Edge’s third artist-in-residence this sp

Eastern Edge’s third artist-in-residence this spring is local artist Susan Furneaux! Susan will be working in our studio from May 15th to June 22nd 🌱

Susan says, “I am exploring making thread using nettle and burdock, beads with willow and shell, fabric with paper and bark - all materials gathered from my yard. I want to experiment with impermanent structures and stacking and arranging that will speak to the cyclical nature of the work and the impermanence of my materials.

This immersive period for creation will allow me to focus on and push the materials to their full potential as an art medium. It will also give me time to strengthen the 3-dimensional aspect of my work, something which is new for me.”

Stay tuned for an announcement about a meet-and-greet event with all three of our resident artists!

🪨✨️ New art writing by Sandy Bonny about Ja

🪨✨️ New art writing by Sandy Bonny about Jason Urban & Leslie Mutchler's exhibition, Speculative Geologies, is now up on our website!

As a writer, artist, and earth scientist, Sandy brings a fascinating parallel perspective to Jason and Leslie's work. Her essay explores the intersections of geology, technology, and poetry present in Speculative Geologies. Click the link in bio to read it! 👉🏻

Here's a sneak peek of this spectacular piece:

"Speculative Geologies incorporates large-scale prints and projections of geofacts; objects reverse-engineered from utopian utilities, with geologically-inspired properties that emerged in silent collaboration between artistic intent and intelligent software algorithms. Each speculative geofact (geofiction?) is linked by poetic text to a social function that we do, or may soon, expect of our digital devices."
