Forest

October 3, 2026 to January 31, 2027

Camille and David Saltman Gallery

TOUR OVERVIEW
Forest presents new work by Fern Helfand, a lens-based artist and ceramicist and Professor Emeritus at UBC Okanagan. The exhibition takes up the sky and a changing climate, alongside the way trees have been pictured across the history of photography.

Helfand’s work has always been shaped by the environments and cultures she has lived and worked in, taking up cultural observation, environmental concern, tourism, and the changing nature of photography itself. She has exhibited internationally.

Full details for this tour, including the art activity and curriculum connections, will be posted closer to the opening.
