I have a piece in a bonfire themed show at Uppercase Gallery in Calgary, Canada. It's a great show (well, the bits of it I've see online at any rate--Calgary is a bit too far for me to travel to right now) and the theme is close to my heart.
From the gallery press release:
"What makes a bonfire blaze bright in the night sky? Where does its power to captivate, mesmerize and unify come from? Towering flames, chants and folk songs, flying ash, crackling wood, secret pagan rituals and seasonal rites of passage, the pungent scent of burning embers and melting marshmallows; the secret allure of the bonfire is in its sensory experience. Across history and culture, bonfires have offered diverse communities a unique ceremonial experience of open air fire. This fall, UPPERCASE gallery celebrates the tradition, lore, and enigmatic beauty of bonfires in an exhibition of visual art."
The show is up until at least the end of October. If you happen to find yourself near Calgary, please stop by.
The gallery is located in the upper level of Art Central, on the corner of 7th Ave SW and Centre St in downtown Calgary.
My piece from the show is also being featured in Issue Three of Uppercase Journal. It's a beautiful magazine, and I'm very happy to have been included. You can find out more (including a preview of the entire issue) here: http://www.uppercasegallery.ca/
