Dan Kennedy’s paintings have a gothic flavour wherein geologists and tramps, hunters and itinerant professors, beards and volcanoes, sleepwalkers and hucksters, sedimentary rock and the Milky Way galaxy all become actors and settings for the beginning of a journey into stories of geologic time, stardust adventure.

Medical science, monstrous deformity and mythology converge in Catherine Heard’s Errata installation. Sculptures and intricate hand-cut paper pieces combine the beauty of craft and the curiosity of the monstrous form.

These tools and devices formulate and extend her fascination with journeying, time, and light-forms. Over the past 25 years Dianne Bos has continually explored motifs such as galaxies and constellations, European interiors with light portals (such as windows or doors) and figures presented as light apparitions.

Lumen is Dianne Bos' first Vancouver solo exhibit will feature new photographic installation including illuminated light boxes, book cameras and images from real and imagined voyages.
