Exhibition: Membranes and Pith 305 & Reverie 25
Canada Line – Aberdeen Station
The Aberdeen Canada Line Station Art Wrap is presented in partnership with City of Richmond Public Art. What emotions or memories can food unearth? What do our meals reveal about our sense of belonging, family and history? In Membranes and Pith 305 and Reverie 25, Vancouver-based multidisciplinary artist Cherry Archer utilizes the evocative powers of culinary plants deeply rooted in her Trinidadian heritage to create images that awaken memories of her family and culture. She freezes produce in water, creating a “botanical ice tile,” which she then illuminates with coloured light, photographs, and prints in large format.

Join Richmond Art Gallery curator Zoë Chan and several artists from the It begins with knowing and not knowing exhibition for an informal tour. Opening launch to immediately follow.
In a world rife with injustice, pain, and uncertainty, this compelling group of artists engage with dimensions of spirituality, ceremony, dreams, and ritual to find greater meaning, rebuild ties with community, bolster a sense of self, or regain a sense of optimism. The Gallery is transformed by new and recent works including photographs, cyanotypes, textiles, sculptures, videos, ceramics, paintings, and performance.
Rebecca Bair translates her hair-care rituals into a language of care in a series of cyanotypes featuring imprints of her hair extensions and wet curls. Xinwei Che invites visitors to slow down and consider geological time in her use of clay and performance. Patrick Cruz paints alternate realities based on his experimentations with past-life regression techniques. Zoë Kreye constructs ethereal immersive installations with textiles painted using her entire body. Ogheneofegor Obuwoma’s striking film delves into the difficulties of their experiences at a Catholic boarding school. Michelle Sound finds joy in the utilization of material practices like beadwork and drum making in the face of ongoing impacts of colonial violence on family members and Indigenous communities. Ximena Velázquez (La PosmoBaby) nurtures ties to her mother country Mexico through the cooking of her great grandmother’s recipes.

Throughout 2024, the artist will invite local residents to participate as collaborators to tell their definitions of home and co-create a home-like installation through various activities, aiming to build a public sense of an inclusive, shared, and caring community. This exhibition will showcase the works of individuals who have participated in this project as well as Peisen’s work. Together, it hopes to convey various meanings of home and celebrate the diverse presence of Richmond community members.
