A Year From Now is an introspective look at works from the Kelowna Art Gallery’s permanent collection that were hand-picked by local artist and curator Wanda Lock.
Divided into five poetic groupings, this introspective exhibition forms a cycle for viewers to reflect upon. The section Love is blind is imbued with romanticism and wonder. Home is where the heart is explores the place where commitment forms and domesticity often follows. Best Laid Plans considers the nature of disruption and unforeseen circumstances. When you crop a photo, you tell a lie visits transitional moments and change. Lastly, To everything, there is a season brings the journey full circle, returning to summer in the Okanagan.
Curator Wanda Lock brings together sixty-three works from the collection for this eclectic display that features Okanagan-based artists Briar Craig, Fern Helfand, Jane Everett, and Jim Kalnin, along with Landon Mackenzie, Gathie Falk, Norval Morisseau, Carl Beam, and Wanda Koop, among others.
Wanda Lock studied at Emily Carr College of Art + Design. She is Curator at the Lake Country Art Gallery and calls the Okanagan home.
